Dub - Ork

RE are winning the war on the DUB - ORK route.

There are very little €24 fares left with RE, even though they are a reasonable amount designated on all flights. In the run up to christmas there fares are quite high, showing high loads.

While FR has nearly all .99c + TAX fares for the next two weeks!!!

It is cheaper for RE to operate a ATR 72 than it is to operate a 738 on such a short route, the 738 consumes a larger quantity of fuel. So i can only guess the DUB - ORK route for FR is making little or no profit on it.

The Free Newspaper and Coffee is a big factor for the Passengers, And RE are winning that support.
