2 more B757s perhaps. 1 can launch DUB-YYZ. This of course would leach some pax
from the DUB-ORD route. That could allow a reduction in frequency on this route,
(maybe back to 7 weekly) thus freeing up a partial A330.....
..
Now we suddenly have 1.5 A330 available for the EI fleet planning Dept in S14. I
know when I would want to sent it.......SFO. Whether that is cost effective
pre-A350, well only the EI analysts can answer that.

In the context of the strong proportion of interlining traffic at Dublin Airport, I am surprised that this does not support plans or make a west coast route sustainable. However, I do feel that if say San Francisco was to be a viable route it would need to be at least x 5 weekly. The amount of metal tied up on such a route, likely make it unattractive in the context of what fleet they have, with what is on order plus the opportunities on the eastern side of the US and Canada.

EI will likely go EWR for extra flights as a few posters have copped that JFK
terminal 5 is out of the question of course this does rule Cork out for nw but
brings in Bfs as well as SNn interesting and of course close parter UA will be
party to the plans
What is the reference to BFS about Hangar6?
