HI EI-RB,
I read your comments re EI should do NOCLHR and that EI should match FR etc.
I would love to see Aer Lingus being more proactive and serving Regional airports as I am confident that there are many good opportunities for them.
However, I dont see any point in Aer Lingus matching or challenging Ryanair. Aer Lingus should sensibly seek out non Ryanair routes and take on airlines who are not as aggressive as Ryanair. More yield to be achieved where Ryanair is not flying.
About Shannon, Aer Lingus in my view have very little interest in Shannon airport. They only have a mere 6 routes now. LHR, ORD, BOS,JFK, LAX (via DUB), & DUB. They had every opportunity to boost SNN business pre FR base and they didnt. Pity.
It would be fruitless changing slots at LHR for NOC when the existing routes are performing well. ie SNN ORK & NOC.
