Gaza ... Why unsustainable in the long term???
FR, EZY and GO have made a business out of low fares.... so why should DUB-EDI be any different???
APD = £10
PSC @ EDI = £13.50 (less any discount BAA are giving them at the moment)
Total = £23.50

Go are subsidising each pax by £3.50 and thats before any operating costs are taken in to consideration. FR & GO are operating these routes at a loss at the moment.

I agree that low fares are sustainable in the long term as EZY, GO and FR have proved, but the real question is "how low"? Over the next few months I expect the prices will rise to typical low cost carrier levels.
