Quote: "airlines other than EI and FR seem to struggle on routes to Ireland and I wonder why?"
Is this really true, mart901? Is this why there is no U2 presence in Ireland?
Quote: "Waterford, Kerry, Knock and Donegal get operational support yearly which will be stopped next year however it will most likely change by then. This is seperate to the PSO routes from Dublin-Kerry/Donegal (also up in 2014)."
Was Galway effected by the ending of PSO obligations? Is this the reason it closed to scheduled pax flights?
