What can Waterford offer Euromanx that Galway couldn't? 3W have lost money hand over fist and ought to get their house in order and consolidate on their IOM base before looking at the expense of opening another base.
I actually thought 3W were starting to get their act together. Sensible routes this winter, fares brought down to compete head-to-head with BACX and RE, plus (hopefully) better reliability. I hope they aren't going to do anything rash to make life more difficult for themselves again.

Yep, I've seen a couple of news reports from the Republic that the Euros are 'in talks' with the Waterford airport people. Bordeaux, Faro, Malaga have been mentioned. The Galway fiasco nearly sent the company down the tubes and messed up a lot of people - it must have wasted milllions 'cos the homework clearly wasn't done. If they are going to have another go then it needs to be properly thought out and resourced and not a back-of-a-fag-packet planning exercise Galway was. The operation on the Rock is bedding down well tho' I've heard that crewing is still desperate. Let's face it, a start up airline in the middle of the Irish Sea can't be the most appealing job prospect with the market as it is at present. If the news reports are correct then a 7 day week operation is going to need a lot of bodies and I doubt anyone in Ireland who knows of the Galway failure would go anywhere near Euromanx for a job.

I suppose as long as they don't try and operate LRT/LTN RE won't mind... much. Just like they didn't mind in GWY...
With FR pushing hard on ORK-DUB RE might need a home for more ATRs soon, in places like WAT where MO'L can't come gunning for them!

Yes a longer, less restricted runway with less fuel burn when heading south to the sun and above all Wendy's toasted sambos served as only she can.
Hope it works out for them!

Either the Euros have lost their spirit of adventure and retreating to the rock or one burnt finger in Eire is enough to warn them off - but its no go Waterford this summer

Hansol....how right you are....you seem to have your finger on the pulse. From what I hear his inability to stay quite until the deal was done seems to have destroyed the deal, and not only for WFD but for GWY also!
