"EI regional always were and will always be ridiculously expensive.
The thing is, I'm not sure LCY is the right route. It won't really grow traffic, unlike other European routes. Living here in Clare, I wouldn't travel to ORK for a London route, what's the point when I'm already well connected from SNN? Whereas for eg, a Lisbon route, I would travel to Cork for." Unquote
I don't agree that it won't grow traffic. The introduction of competition has shown in the past that it stimulates new demand. The London route has settled into a cosy cartel between FR and EI so i'm sure a new London entrant will have an impact on existing fares and offers, all resulting in overall growth.
