Cwl- New York

In light of the rumors about Delta at Brs, an interesting item has appeared on the Cwl thread stating that Delta has been in talks with Cwl for some time regarding a Cwl - New York route three times a week. It is a BBC news story and is reporting these talks have just broken down.

Could this be because that they may have their eyes on a better alternative across the channel when Continental vacate with a greater catchment area?

As i said previously, i think any future trans Atlantic New York route will be via Aer Lingus hubbing through Shannon.

Another point that was raised was that the route would attract state aid, its pretty good with two competing airports, with only one receiving direct government aid and that the unaided airport knocks spots of the the other, the proofs in the pudding- numbers talk.

Interesting though.
