Shannon is facing very serious difficulties going forward. It was always recognised that the level of FR activity at SNN was not sustainable. It would probably be more beneficial in the long-term if FR withdrew completley. They will however maintain a presence, and that presence no matter how small will prevent any other carrier from launching routes, knowing that there is the potential as has happened in the past for FR to launch against them, in what are already thin very low yield markets. Serious strategic thinking required to develop a route incentive scheme that gives carriers some sort of comfort to develop new business!
