Good news but how big will any expansion be. I take it anything will be announced when the Summer 2007 brochures come out

Things cant be that bad if expansion is on the cards. I must say though I have seen very little advertising from XL in the local area. The airport has done a good job advertising the new routes however

Sound promising. At least WOW are prepared to speak to us. Hopefully a BRS service could be possible in the near future

Not sure how good an indication this is but prices for the route are very low. I guess the CAA stats for May (first full month of operation) will make interesting reading. Again though I have seen very few adverts for the service. Indeed I have seen more for MME-DUB than HUY-DUB
