Edge dearest. The Bloodbath is Summer. FR ops from SNN-LTN starts May '05 and Easy go dbl daily SNN and ORK. Just ask the RE boys yourself - they know it is a huge threat to load and yield. Pure simple common sense. Not rocket science. I have not pulled any threads. Also never mentioned Jan as any thing for RE to worry about. This will be death by a 1,000 EURO 1 fares which will see a withering effect which you will really only see at end of Oct 2005. Aviation is not a one hit wonder.
Looked at the CAA stats and NOC seems to be doing remarkably well. On Jan figures they carried 2828 pax although flts did not start to LGW until mid and late month. They must be thrilled - particularly as they did not give super deals to RE or Easy and collect EURO 10 direct off each passenger using NOC. They are laughing.
Dublin airport is a kip. Who could ever argue otherwise. The smell of pee off those toilets behing the self service Cafe only has to be smelt to be believed. Expect some formerly unknown forms of Aer Rianta fungus are growing out of all the brown paper bags hidden behind cisterns. The upscale of security today will halt lots of comfort spend for '05. May also cause some delays.
