Maybe, but Dublin Airport handles not far off 20 Million Pax. thats massive and with EI and FR probably the only large based airlines carrying the majority, I would say that EZY could muscle in and be quite successful if they based a number of aircraft. Is there a fear of airlines setting up at Dublin?
It passed the 20 million barrier in 2006, carrying 21 million passengers. 2007's figures haven't been released but its estimated that they carried 23.5 million and it looks like the 25 million barrier will be passed this year. I don't think Easy will venture into Dublin after what happened with the LGW-Cork, Shannon and Knock routes where FR made a point of launching their own services on each of the Easy services, virtually giving away seats so Easy's yields would be poor before cutting most of the services once Easy had been driven away.
