It appears from the schedule that they will have a single aircraft until May and a second one thereafter.
It would seem logical to me in the circumstances to launch one destination with a reasonable schedule, and then the second destination when the second aircraft arrives, but they have chosen to launch both from the start with a very attenuated schedule. Thus for example if I want to make a day trip from Dublin to Oxford for a meeting, I have to ensure my meeting is on a Wednesday or a Friday. If I want to go from Oxford to Edinburgh for a weekend, ... well, I can't really.
I know this will all be resolved from May onwards, but I am a little puzzled at the thought process which concluded that a launch schedule which serves two routes badly is better than one which serves one route well. I wonder whether perhaps a condition of the airport's financial support was the launch of at least two destinations from the start, and I hope this will not come back to bite them.
