Interesting to see flybe further expanding their network into Ireland. EIR seem to have the solid EDI-SNN route mopped up but couldn't make GLA-SNN work even three days a week and pulled the route a while back. If they couldn't make it work with their brand presence at SNN then flybe may well have their work cut out for them on this one. Then again, they may be getting a great deal on landing fees as a new carrier at the airport.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be too much of a market for direct flights from the west of Scotland to the west of Ireland though, FR's PIK-SNN, EIR's GLA-SNN, BA's GLA-GWY and WW's GLA-NOC have all failed to perform in recent years and have subsequently been pulled by their operators.

Did EIR ever actually operate that route - I thought it was cut towards the end of the old RE days during a period when they couldn't really make any route work?
Anyway, I'm not saying that this new route cannot be a success, to its advantage it will have the direct west of Scotland/west of Ireland market to itself, however to its disadvantage it will have to succeed where a number of other similar routes failed.

I don't think EIR were making a major losses on SNN-GLA but more that better money to be made on SNN-EDI.

I would find that surprising for two reasons. First, I think the flight is only stopping in SNN in one direction (westbound), and second, Ireland doesn't have a bilateral agreement with Pakistan, which would be needed for traffic rights.

Nothing in the boking engine or timetable. Therefore, the website may just be indicating that Shannon is served, as a stop over, and nothing more.
