All I will say on Ryanairs statement is pot kettle black...
Aer Lingus Regional basing a fourth aircraft DUB from March. EDI will be 5 daily EI regional comapred to 2 EI regional and 1 mainline this summer. Early morning departures will be EDI, GLA, BRS and CWL.
Since when do FR bus people to planes at DUB ?
EI the ones doing the complaining 2 weeks ago about little facilities available for that at Dub.
A few stands on Pier D are not accesable by passengers walking to aircraft so mainly when an aircraft arrives and there is a long gap between flights they go to those stands so gates won't be blocked for aircraft on short turnarounds. Thats why it only happens off peak.
