Dublin was one of those peculiarly difficult straight in approaches with ILS, PAPIs and a lack of mountains or particularly bad weather ... very difficult indeed (well, for pilots who haven't forged their flying licences!)
That dangerous dublin quote is bizarre - perhaps he has forgotten the local rabied dogs, that 10% of airport land is filled with slum dwellers, the porus perimiter fence, the fact that the R27 LOC was stolen in broad daylight and the 'wonderful' apron lighting that enables you to spot the ground staff in their 'florescent' uniforms. All in the commercial capital


Moving on...

The business standard article is full of non quotable comments from people not wanting to be quoted - even an analyst who doesnt want to be quoted - wonder why - analysts have something to sell?

It must be true then.

If AI were not interested in Dublin - why would they sending a team to Ireland to visit, and have shortlisted down the airports to two. CPH and MAD were unsuccessful if it is now down to DUB and BHX.
