Monday morning rant

This summer, Dublin Airport had 224 flights to and from North America every week, which is the equivalent of 32 flights per day. “We have better connectivity to North America than Gatwick or Manchester airports and more transatlantic flights than many large airports in continental Europe and the extra services that we welcomed this year are helping to boost our transfer passenger numbers,” Mr Harrison said. “Dublin Airport’s range of destinations and airlines provides unrivalled choice and convenience for passengers, not just in Ireland but also overseas,” he added.

Sourced this from recent DAA press release.

Reason for posting is to move thread on from anal iterations of Jersey/ Bordeaux seasonal offerings to a First World aviation scene.

Belfast / NI needs a radical long term aviation policy focused on improving connectivity from the North of Ireland to Asia and North America. Not to pursue this will further diminish inward investment and economic growth.

A difficult but not impossible task. If you think that this is not possible think again.
Shannon is a striking example of radical and "unthinkable" ideas acted upon.
