ORD-SNN was 5 weekly last summer.

SNN-RNS & BRS were dropped last year. EIR used a 42 instead of a 72 for a lot of last year. SNN LHR was also being operated by an 319 instead of a 320 for the last 3 months of 2013.

There was a reduction in flights as well last year.
To be honest the amount of growth brought from the new routes should outway those losses, particularly as all the growth was in the form of jet's nevermind 42's or 72's and the use by Aer Lingus of an A319 doesn't reflect reduced numbers haha, they simply wanted to fill the A319 with the same amount of passengers and better utilise the A320.

The fact there was reduction wasn't widely reported now was it? we were lampooned with constant press releases of growth, for 6k extra passengers I wouldn't be partying.
