I too at times wonder at the functionality of the Marketing Department, and also the whole leadership of the CAA. They do seem to have totally lost the plot and dont realise that but for Airlines and passengers they would be NO reason to be there.
Whilst I'm totally disappointed at the losses of routes and airlines, maybe it might take that to make them "WAKE UP" and see reality.
As for the losses, of course whilst any losses are totally unacceptable, you also have to look at the pluses.
Aerlingus to Birmingham, Berlin, Madrid, Prague & Tenerife (14 flts per week)
Wizz Air to Katowice & Gdansk ( 5/6 flts per week)
Centralwings to Wroclaw & Krakow (4 flts per week)
Aer Arann New flights to Galway & Leeds (10 flts per week)
Aer Arann Increase in schedules Dublin Bristol & Edinburgh (12 flts per week)
I hope there will not be any further losses and if some of the rumours I have heard are true then there might be more gains.
