Two points.
1. Very recently I flew into Dublin from Turkey on Turkish Airlines. I was quite surprised at the number on the flight with NI accents. I have read on another site that the route carries a lot of NI pax. A few years back there was speculation that Turkish was looking at Belfast. I don't know what happened to that if there was any truth in the rumor, no doubt Covid didn't help. Any views on whether Turkish might renew their interest, or another carrier like Pegasus? I travelled back to Belfast on a full bus, the loss of pax from Belfast to Dublin is huge.
2. With the recent news on more new routes, what routes are left that might be a good shot for speculation. Jet2 had Izmir on sale, but cancelled it due to Covid. Madrid? And could we see any more based units from Ryanair next year?
If Ezy has 9 based next summer, Jet2 will have 4, Ryanair 2 at the moment and Tui 1, that is a total of 16, the highest ever if that holds?
