RE possible new routes to Derry
I suspect, with the establishment of a Ryanair base at Edinburgh, that the airport management are hoping that Ryanair will start a route to Derry. Aer Arann have flown between Derry and Manchester before, though I am not sure whether they are interested in new routes at the moment. However, with 2 routes from Derry they could consider basing an aircraft there which would allow them to have a proper early morning flight to Dublin a la Logan air which could help improve the Dublin pax numbers.
