I think I read that Gatwick/Malaga going down to once daily, I cant see the route being kept, 1 solitary route being operated by Aer Lingus that doesnt arrive in or leave from the Island of Ireland. My prediction is that Aer Lingus will scale back the LGW operation from end of Summer Timetable.
Today in the Sunday Business Post the talk is that Aer Lingus will lease 320s out for winter season (may not be this winter season though) to airlines operating maybe in Canada, south America and maybe airlines in southern hemisphere etc who have seasonal demand.
I am not intending to be negative but if the government do sell assets the big focus will be Heathrow slots, in which case my fears would be around the BFS slots from same.
