Hi Could Aer Lingus Regional not lease the bmibaby aircraft and change the colour scheme on as it would be best suited for this route
airnoc.. I've decided I'm going to buy you a present Google Image Result for http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/101800000/101800822.jpg

We don't know the full details of the EIR agreement or what involvement EI have in planning. But why would Aer Arann open and build up routes, paying EI a franchise fee, only for EI to cherry pick once established, potentially wiping out their business? Perhaps there is some clause allowing this, anyone illuminate us on the workings of the partnership?
Aer Arann operates the route and pay's Aer Lingus a franchise fee for its use of brand, use of call centers and all sale channels aswell as for Aer Lingus marketing its routes (new or existing). I also believe Aer Lingus has a massive say in where Aer Lingus Regional aircraft go.
