Dublin connections
EI also serves BUD, so if the schedules work, they could also get
that business.
I guess the thing EI needs to do is to work out which are the most
lucrative points of origin in terms of transit traffic (and indeed,
which have most potential). I think there's little point in trying to
get transit traffic westbound from busy airports like FRA, MAD, LHR, but
from less well served places like NCL, BRU, BUD etc, they could have some
success - if they have the timings right.
Probably because WW was no fan of transit traffic, the schedules have
not been arranged in such a way as to maximise this; if you go to a
place like AMS, or (best of all) VIE, for example, the schedules have
been worked with connections in mind.
The t/a schedules need also to be rejigged a little to maximise the
feed, BUT of course, if they feel that there's sufficient traffic from
DUB itself, why bother?
