It's a shame to see Aer Lingus doing so badly on the route, they offer great fares and service but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I know they perform reasonably well during the summer but that won't be able to sustain the route. I can't see Aer Lingus pulling the route though, it would too much of an embarrassment for a start and they still have plenty of time to make the route a year round success instead of just performing well in the summer.
The rumoured relaunch of the Gold Circle Club might give them the edge against all the other airlines but that seems to be a long way off unfortunately.
At least there's always Lanzarote, nice healthy loads there I hear!
