Well done to Dermot Mannion and his team for the great 2007 results announced yesterday. Aer Lingus will be upgrading the A330-200s at last, by next summer 80% of the long haul fleet will have new cabins.
Aer Lingus will introduce a new fast pass check in and bag tag kiosk at airports. Dermot Mannion was asked if this meant check-in desks and staff would be phased out but he made it very clear this new kiosk is in the experimental stages for Aer Lingus and check-in staff will remain...for now.
An EGM will take place next month to approve the A330/A350 order. Hopefully it will be firmed shortly after.
