Aer Arann News and Rumours!
Aer Arann News and Rumours!
.....and BHD and LDY will close, EI will move out of DUB to BFS and there will be a twice-daily flight from BFS to the moon, starting in September to compliment the 10 times a day flight from BFS to New York. Gylnn, if you have nothing constructive to say with regards the topic, save your energy and say nothing.
WOW boy. I haven't heard any new rumours about Aer Arann, but I'd imagine any new major expansion would require fleet expansion too. So maybe that'll be their next step.

Why only a single ATR-72 rotation per day for summer 05 from Luton to both Waterford and Galway?
Last year there was a double daily ATR-72 to both and with good loads?

The winter schedule ex LTN continues into the summer with double daily LTN-GWY on Tu, Wed & Sat. Daily to WAT.
The twice daily service to both GWY & WAT last summer was very well supported with loads around 80% or more on nearly all flights. Reasons for the change at the moment, not known, although sources indicate that consideration to reinstate the twice daily, seven days a week, is under review for the period mid-may to mid-sept. Decision not likely to be taken until early march.

If you read the small print on the aer arann website you'll see that the timetables are only valid until the end of march. This means there will be a whole new timetable for the summer months. Routes from Waterford are supposed to increase dramitacially this summer.

I guess alot depends on what happens with the Irish PSO route subsidies. Aer Arann gets approx EURO 19m annually for operating a few flights to GWY, NOC, KIR, SXL and CFN. That must make a huge contribution and has really been what created the airline. The tenders for these routes start next week and the Govt. decision will be in April 2005. RE would be foolish to make too many commitments for 05 when it cannot be sure what if any services it will regain under these PSO's. BA, CityJet/AirFrance and others are being actively courted by the Irish Govt. to bid. Many of their ATR's are 20 years old now and getting very scruffy. I am sure they will wait until May 05 before settling things.

Don't know where your "facts" came from,but
EI-BYO built 11-89
EI-CVR built 07-86
EI-CVS built 12-86
All irrelevant to me-----if the price , convenience and safety is right,nothing else matters.

Will we see Aer Arann in the near future ordering any members of the Embraer or Canadair regional Jet family?
There was rumours a while back that the were looking into starting TA services from Cork.
Would they not be better off starting to fly the smaller jets first, before taking the big step of investing in Med/Long haul fleets.

Aer Arann have today been hiring in the Eirjet A320 and also, I believe, a Denim Air Fokker 50 to cover for some of their flights.
At the same time ATR-72 EI-REA has been parked up at Cork since at least Sunday morning. The props are also tied up but that is understandable in the windy conditions.
What about the other ATR-72s - are they flying today? Could not resist having a look at the Eirjet A320 flying off today as the RE628 and the remainder of the Aer Arann flights in the late afternoon were operated by ATR-42s, RE631, RE303, RE454 and the RE from Edinburgh. Some of these flights would normally be flown by ATR-72 equipment.

Well looks like RE are in for a rough day tomorrow again with the cancellation of all flights to GWY - SXL - NOC - CFN - KIR. ORK are the only ones which seem to be unchanged as of yet.
Winds are expected to reach gusts of 100mph at times. West coast will experience the worst of it.

The Eirjet A320 returned to Shannon from Cork about an hour ago after operating up to ten movements for Aer Arann today.
One of the DUB-ORK A320 flights earlier in the evening also accomodated the DUB-KIR passengers. Why?
Now, we hear that a huge amount of tomorrow's flying programme for Aer Arann is cancelled due to weather. Yet, Cork to Dublin and Cork to Birmingham is due to fly as normal? Apart from that little of the flying programme remains?
Why was the A320 hired into service today? Hardly tomorrow's weather?
Has anyone seen an Aer Arann ATR-72 fly today or yesterday?
