PSO's finish in July of this year so only 6 months to go. Regardless of what they say Aer Arann have a big hole to fill.
In total they will be losing 8 return flights a day.
DUB SXL x2
DUB LDY x2
DUB GWY x3
DUB NOC x1

When will DUB KIR tender be revisited? And if it is will Aer Arann be able to get it by virtue of the fact that they could offer more than 1 flight a day and be successful given Ryanair's changes on the route to 1 daily?

I am not sure GWY would be axed, though scaled back significantly maybe to a early morning GWY DUB and a late evening DUB GWY. That would provide an aircraft for DUB early in the morning for other flights eg IOM, or maybe IOM would become Aer Lingus Regional.

Moreover, what future for SXL? What will be left of Aer Arann brand at DUB?
