Would somebody be kind enough to explain why Emerald has both a UK and Irish AOC ? I understand a UK AOC might be required to fly UK mainland to/from Belfast... but if they have a UK AOC, why do they need to retain an Irish AOC ? Or are they planning to fly from the Republic to places like France ? Will UK-Ireland flights remain on the Irish AOC, or will they switch to the UK AOC ?
Apologies if this is obvious to others, but I'm trying to understand the overall business strategy
