Weston is not in any fit state to take Aer Arann flights.
There is not runway lighting and no instrument approach whatosever.
There aren't any jets going into Weston yet except perhaps
OY TKI C500 which is pretty much a static display.
I think they would need to sort out their PCN's and re-structure the main runway besides just widening it.
Also there may be an FBO going into the field but really with RWY25's proximity to the housing estates around it and to Baldonnel i don't think this will be a runner for too many operators.
I hear that there is a VOR/DME approach being set up for EIWT.
Also the likes of a Hawker 125-700/800XP or Challenger CL604 or C560XL will need alot more runway length than is available even with the new extension in place.....so although they may get a few Citations into EIWT i don't think they'll get much more.
Also for an ATR to go in/out you are looking at an airport with facilities atleast the size of Sligo.....there's no car hire/baggage areas in the airport
I really don't think that Aer Arann would go there....if they were thinking of anywhere then why not go somewhere like Baldonnel which has a good wide long runway/facilities & a big terminal/ramp area....
