Whither Open Skies
I can't avoid being struck by the irony of Aer Lingus' transatlantic performance- just two years ago they were claiming that Open Skies was about to finally enable them to fulfil their transatlantic destiny with tales of a possible 20+ U.S. cities as destinations.
We are all aware that the current economic downturn isn't helping but one wonders why the airline so eagerly embraced a change that has seen them hammered by the U.S. competition in their own backyard.
