Just wondering if anybody thinks that there would be a market for an Aer Lingus weekly summer services to Malaga and another holiday destination.

I know Malaga is a well served destination but with the capacity from Cork and Dublin, would think it could work well with a Saturday daytime service on the A330 during the Summer. With the New York flight in at 6am, a 7.50am departure would be realistic with a return at about 3pm allowing a 5pm departure to Boston. This is similar to what is happening daily in Dublin. This would increase usage of the aircraft. I think Ryanair operate the route already but a daytime Saturday service on an A330 with inflight entertainment is bound to be attractive.

Also would it make sense to replace the Sat evening LHR service with a weekly service to Faro or Palma for the summer months. Again I am sure passenger numbers would not be a problem and this is likely to be a relatively quiet LHR service?
