I don't remember the Scandys operating a GLA-DUB fifth freedom route since I've been involved in the job since about 1982, though I'm not saying it never happened. Maybe it was before then
My experience with EI was a fam flight (ah, the good old days...) which involved the freight/pax 1-11 outbound and a 737 back. I also did EDI-DUB in a SH360 returning in (I think) a 737.
I recently did a FR PIK-SNN flight. This I found rather amusing, linking as it did two airports that never realised their potential but have recently been given a new lease of life.

Voldermort is quite correct- I'd forgotten until he/she mentioned it.
In fact, weren't there four airlines all operating GLA-DUB at the same time?
I'll stick my neck out and suggest that Icelandair did the route for a few months also.

Phil,
You wrote - Smith, I can assure you that PIK does not make heaps of money from RYR. That is the reason that the owners are so disappointed with its recent performance.
What I think you will find the owners mean is that if they had more shops etc within the airport, the passengers would spend more money. It is the amount spent per passenger once they are in the airport that they want to improve on.

I think at the end of the day you will find that PIK will make a considerable amount of money out of RYR.
RYR must bring through about 3000+ pax a day through PIK, those pax dont just walk through the airport, they will spend money on car parks, Retail(WHSmith, Duty free, arcades, pubs and the food court).
The Ryanair hangar will generate money for the airport, for example fees for land, aircraft on the apron.EI-DCV 738 has been sitting for the past week now and the 8 732`s have been here for months, now that surely has cost them for the space they are using!
Did they not generate something like 90 million for the local economy, something like that. PIK surely has made something over the time with Ryanair.
Cheers,
