For 2014, Aer Lingus mainline operations will have an additional weekly flight in total due to the increases inline for Heathrow, expected really considering the great loads they continue to get for the service. Up to the CAA now to push for it year-round and there's a good chance of that too considering Aer Lingus are operating the A321 on a Thursday evening, Friday and Monday mornings this Winter due to demand. That sort of growth next Winter would be a sustainable drive, the announcement by Aer Lingus in Shannon is for June to August (New Malaga service) and obviously they believe they will achieve better yields with that Cork aircraft there by dropping the Cork to Lisbon service and reducing capacity to Munich from Cork by trying to maintain yields obviously when the new Ryanair service to Memmingen which apparently can be called Munich West
comes on line. Let's see what the Summer holds, and to be honest its in the best interest of the CAA to stay clear of growth by Ryanair, they continue to demonstrate to me that that there definition of ''growth'' which is to chase the yields of carriers there CEO continues to bash and chase the success of what he called a ''ludicrous idea'' by Aer Lingus, ''who think flying props to the UK is revolutionary'' who's laughing now MOL considering there losing market share to Aer Arann. There definition of growth is unsustainable on a year-round basis and will further drive the sector here into a seasonality, there's lots of potential past that carrier. The likes of capacity increases to London/Heathrow is where we started out ten years ago and its where management need to look again, and to remember back in 2005 what happened when they swallowed the tripe described as growth which has now come back to haunt them.
