All, interesting discussion. I guess the point being made here is the longer term sustainability of European air access to the south west and west for that matter without a clear national policy position. Are we to accept then that in the future all inbound business/tourism connectivity has to land in Dublin to make it sustainable for airlines under current national aviation policy? If so then by default Dublin airport and it's surrounds will continue to grow and develop and the regions will always struggle benefit from a larger share of international tourism and business connectivity.....unless there is direct Government policy intervention to enable this....as has happened at other airports in the forms of marketing and route development funds and debt restructurings...
