Having lost out to IAG in acquiring EI, it is perhaps not too surprising if MOL is serious about the feeder concept. If it happens, it would certainly appear to enhance DUB as a competitor to MAN. However, what capacity constraints are there now at DUB in terms of terminals and runway? It must be be pretty busy early morning with based a/c and then after the first wave of arrivals.
It could put US pre-clearance at MAN higher up the priority list. Incidentally, has there been any feedback from the visit by US personnel a couple of weeks ago in that regard?
