EI-BUD
I am completely serious. I can see a market for these flights. How you may measure the market of a certain route off connectivity to a hub is beyond me. If aer Lingus had their old flight times that would allow business people travel to Heathrow, they would be able to fill an A320. Dublin has connectivity to all major European hubs, and has twice daily flights to Abu Dhabi and Dubai using 3 777's and 1 A330-200. In my mind, Shannon would have a market for dubai or even Abu Dhabi. I know countless people who either drive to Dublin, or connect in Heathrow to get to Australia.
How do you know Paris doesn't work? Do you have special figures, market research or wisdom that we do not have?
Now, this route may not work, and I may be incorrect, but I can see a market for it.
