I would have guessed their looking for new airlines and new routes! FR and EI are pulling back on services all the time, but keeping enough of a foot in so that no other carrier can get onto their dublin routes without being battered back out....
I hope its medium to long haul airlines with new routes or to make some current routes all year round! They would at least avoid an onslaught from FR
