left rudder,
I dont see the removal of the APD on t/a service to be of much benefit, given that the pool of seats is so small anyway, these is a basic level of demand that exists whether the APD is there or not, when this demand is satisfied there is a small amount of seats that show a negligable amount of price reduction and lets assume that a lot of price minded customers will compare with Dublin where the market, frequency, competition and choice of t/a destinations is grown, in which case DUB will be very competitive.
However, if they can use this to grow frequency, attract a long talked about Toronto or Orlando this would be a real plus. At this stage of the game the doubting Thomas in me thinks that if Toronto has not been looked at by this stage and talk of an AC low cost option through Dublin materialises there is little hope of it happening anytime soon.
