RE72,
I really can't see why this DUB-ORK expansion is a personal vendetta against Arann? Arann is just a small operator which has never been a threat to FR and never will be. To my knowledge there have never been any conflicts between those 2 companies. Yes FR wanted to get the DUB-KIR pso route last year but did not get it. Again that was not really to piss off RE but more targeted at the government.
On the DUB-ORK route, yes RE might be a victim but the main target for MOL is more the Irish train system if I am not mistaken?!
When FR started on the route RE reduced the frequency straight away but their planes were and still are completely full, and they started with more daily flights again.
Time will tell who the winners and loosers will be
Brian D, I agree with you
