a few shades of green at work here
Maybe so. You have to hand it to Ryanair how it is defending its patch, and so good how AerLingus put it up to them. Increasing MAN, BHX, BRS, EDI and GLA and operating on other routes like LIS just shows how Ryanair continue to target Aer Lingus market share, all dressed up as driving tourism.
AerLingus is significantly differentiated to withstand this competition. EIR passenger numbers totally eclipse FR in Glasgow/ Dublin market and many other European routes. Nice to see them one catch up with Aer Lingus in this market
Come on AerLingus launch a DUB LTN route to link in with USA routes, 319 would be ideal equipment. Passengers in north west London area could select from DUB LHR or LTN on the same booking.
It is the thinner UK Dublin routes that FR will find it tougher, NCL is an example and no wonder no increase in frequency on this route by FR.
