BMI Glasgow Knock
Just a numbered other
What next? EMA-NOC to go?
Rumour has it that the discounts given by Aer-Rianta (at other Eire airports) for using NOC make it worthwhile.

Where do rumours begin??? NOC is a private airport. Aer Rianta CURRENTLY operate DUB, CRK AND SNN! They have no relationship with NOC. Not denying discounts play a big part in securing thinner routes, but I think this alleged rumour is weightless!! On another point anybody else here anything on BACX pulling back on NOC - MAN!

I believe that bmibaby is seriously considering a Gatwick-Knock route for the winter schedule. I for one thinks this would be a very good move for baby and for the people who live in N.W Ireland. Is there any other airline flying from Knock to the London area? Ryanair to STN?

Here I am having a go previously at the rumour machine, the rumour I heard was the overall bmi development out of NOC was get Ryanair out because we want london, if you can manage that we'll throw in a few other routes.....don't know how credible this is!!!

Joecurry,
Ah... I was kind of pointing out (note smiley face at end of sentence) that my reply was also lighthearted and not to be taken seriously.. was'nt trying to bait anyone mate!
Back to topic.. yes, the rumour about Aer Rianta subsidies is a bit of a nonsense considering Aer Rianta don't even run NOC. I cant believe there are so many of us in the aviation community that don't seem to want to see the industry grow and only "knock" (pun very much intended) a thriving business. I wonder where all this bitterness comes from? One wonders if this is purely becuase the airport is in Eire and thus in the minds of some not worthy of business for some strange reason..
Just a thought/possibility.. even if a silly one.. nah, couldnt be that, could it?

Agree with SNNEI, even if it were run by Aer Rianta no matter how big the discounts are they could never make a route viable, and would be a deciding factor in an airline choosing to operate but not the the key deciding factor!!!

148 seat airplanes with 20 or so pax is hardly thriving, is it?
