No announcement so far; I wonder will they hold the announcement over until the Paris air show?

I got "Airline Business" in the post today and Enda Corneille is quoted as saying that "we are looking at a number of routes to the US for next year and the east coast continues to be an interesting market for us".

What's left on the east coast? Charlotte? Miami? (Miami seems a lot more likely!). I thought DFW was high on the list, but only a very optimistic FR planner would regard that as "East Coast"! Also, bear in mind that these comments were made before the govt announced O/S with Canada, although doubtless EI would have been kept aware of possible developments.

If they are looking at new routes next year, that's going to result in a few more aircraft; presumably, since the three new routes to be started this year (IAD, SFO and MCO) are operated through the Winter, they will also want to increase frequency on this (certainly MCO!) next year too.
