Quite an interesting piece in one of the free newspapers here. Aer Lingus opens first flight between Ireland and Dubai, which is also a daily flight, and gets no coverage. Did anyone see anything about it in the newspapers? On the other hand the big chinned, cheesey one (Branson) brings Virgin to Dubai 4 times a week and all you can see in the newspapers is his hideous face for 3 days running. bearing in mind how many flights there are to London each week by Ek (49 I think) its hardly ground braking news!!!! Branson then goes on a radio show to talk about it all. The DJ was also expecting to talk to the CEO of Air Lingus - Dermot Mannion ( ex EK top wallah) about Air Lingus and also about the EK expansion looking from the outside now he has left, but he cancels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Either he was 'chicken' or the Air Lingus
PR dept needs shooting!!!!
