Michael Cawley was in de paper this morning denying this story. Now, whether we believe him is a different matter.
I can't find it in the online edition, so no link I'm afraid.
I agree with the assessment that Irish Rail are the biggest threat to Aer Arann. In December they will be providing:-
- 80% more trains
- 40% more seats
- 150% more first class seats
And they have the benefit of not being affected by the weather at Cork Airport.
Obviously, there will still be a large market for people who are connecting at Dublin Airport. Perhaps Aer Arann might consider trying to get the Aer Lingus codeshare back for the flights.
