How many more Aerlingus CEO's are going to have to resign before we get a proper aviation policy in this country.
Excellent article in the Sunday Tribune today in which the writer pens a colour piece about what would happen in Britain if BA decided to discontinue a Prestwick-Heathrow service.
It's a humourous piece which shows how backward we still are when it comes to accepting the realities of the aviation business.
Also I see an IBEC survey showed that most business'in the Mid-West would suffer because of the inability to export freight to Heathrow from Shannon. Somebody forgot to tell them that Aerlingus gave up freight services on the route 5 years ago.
The so called Atlantic Connectivity Alliance also claims that Shannon will lose connectivity with 12 major North American cities if the Heathrow link goes. Did they not hear of the JFK and Boston hubs which they have direct access to?
