To leave talk of the takeover bid aside for a while, would anyone care to comment on whether we're likely to see Aer Lingus expand in the Republic of Ireland again.
It's been a while since we've seen aircraft and routes added to the bases in Dublin and Cork and it seems the focus has been on expansion elsewhere - Belfast, Gatwick, Washington.
I guess with the higher costs involved and the weaker economy in Ireland, it doesn't make much business sense, so maybe the answer is No.
