I never thought there was any credibility in FR interlining with EI transatlantic, but EI was our only "budget" offering across the atlantic. At least now there might be room for Wow to step in and take those passengers, or a direct, low cost offering as more of a long shot.
The only way I can really see this going now is another EI pullout, because they now have the least favourable offering to Dublin. I hope Ryanair sees this as an opportunity to offer an earlier flight because their current mid/late morning flight as the only offering really isn't of much use to anyone.
What's happening to NCL short haul! Easyjet, Flybe and now Aer Lingus taking the p*ss with their frequency offerings and route cuts... What's next, British airways swapping to 4 mid morning/afternoon flights to Gatwick
