The talks would of not being with recent SNN news as United would not split there services between SNN and NOC when going for same catchment area and US have always said they would return to SNN which is an established market for them.
With respect to NOC, US carriers have very high standards and NOC would not meet them.
BTW all airports in Ireland will see a substantial drop in leisure travel in 2013 after todays news so its time for NOC and other airports to find something else to offer than sun routes as they will struggle to fill and the capacity is well above demand.
No news of that rumoured second LH route?
