I hear a certain Lufthansa employee was spotted with a small entourage at Aer
Lingus' HQ last Monday, could we finally see Aer Lingus re-joining an alliance
in 2013?
Jack1985, sadly if this is true, it would suggest that BA/EI arrangements on Ireland London routes are not in a good place, and the gloves are likely to come off in terms of both airlines competing heavily on some of EI's most importand and highest frequency routes.
In addition, would a link with Star dilute EI work on DUB LHR and increased emphasis on Ireland/Germany routes with feed to LH network ex FRA?
Diverting connecting passengers over FRA as opposed to LHR may mean EI can cut DUB by 1 or 2 a day and leave these for other routes? Just a thought.
A link with Star may also give some clues as to why EI go back onto CPH as they could link with SAS??
