Well said, you should offer your consultancy services to Aer Lingus / the government. It'd probably work out a whole lot cheaper than the current consultants they're paying, and save AerLingus a small fortune
A bit unrelated, but I was on the Aerlingus site there one night a few months ago and the booking engine was showing flights to Bangkok, Hong Kong and Cairo
Didn't notice any
out of place US services.
Aer Lingus definitely need to focus on the US market, but Hong Kong would be a winner if marketed adequately. (That's the problem half the time isn't it!)
Aer Lingus should never forget or neglect its European routes either, that would simply be disastrous
Cork (
of course) has potential routes screaming out left right and centre: Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Milan, Glasgow, Venice, Palma, New York, and Brussels (
of course).
