It was some sight. Took off ~2155 but doubt it had a full load with the amount of available runway left. Spotters of all ages groups and nationalities out to see it. If SNN offered coffee at €1 a cup they would have made a small fortune.

So maybe this will see the Bristol route return ?
SNN-BRS would work well on an ATR42. I think the 72 is too big for some routes out of SNN.
I think if SNN were to get a second a/c it would be an ATR42. SNN has seen a lot of ATR42 movements in the past couple of weeks/months and it has 1 ATR42 based for the coming Winter season.
SNN-Rennes could return as well. When you try book a flight from SNN on the EI website RNS still appears.

I would imagine the easiest use of the aircraft would be to double up on Birmingham flights. However, it would also be able to add a number of other rotations. I wouldn't be shocked if 2 aircraft based at Shannon had a very similar schedule to the 2 aircraft currently based in Cork.

SNN-BRS
Ryanair operated this route year-round daily from autumn 2005 until the airline announced at the end of 2009 that the route would be one of about 20 FR routes from SNN to be axed after some sort of disagremment with the airport and ceased to fly it from March 2010.
The Ryanair SNN-BRS passenger figures seemed healthy (we don't know about yields of course) with CAA showing the following annual totals:
2006 96,647 (including 1,844 non-FR charter passengers, presumably rugby-related)
2007 97,359
2008 85,360 (including 1,942 non-FR charter passengers, presumably rugby-related)
2009 81,031
Aer Lingus Regional took over from Ryanair in July 2010 at 6 x weekly until September 2012 when they pulled out of the route. Annual passenger figures in their tenure were:
2010 27,273 (Ryanair until March and EI from July)
2011 26,688
2012 18,307 (route ceased in September)

I've seen a few people asking SNN through there social networking sites about flight's to BRS. Hopefully it can be restored for S14.

BE SNN-GLA
The CAA provisional stats were released yesterday.
SNN-GLA carried just 739 pax in May. The load factor was approx 33% per flight. Not a great start, hopefully loads will improve. The route is on sale until May 2014. Hopefully forward bookings are good.
WingsAbroad SNN-BJV
WingsAbroad appear to have dropped there Shannon to Bodrum route for the rest of the season. They have dropped it due to low demand.
They are however operating Shannon - Izmir. They appear to be allocating seats off Sunway's weekly flight from SNN-ADB.

SNN-FAO doing well and EI are happy, they put 2014 on sale the other day. Although lots can change but they don't plan on dropping it which is good.

Lack of brand recognition is the biggest obstacle that overseas carriers have in re entering the Irish Market. The person in the street can't see beyond Ryanair and Aerlingus.

Actually, initial NOC-EDI bookings were so good that it was increased to 5-weekly before the first flight even took off. Loads have tailed off a little since though as fares have crept up.
Judging by those numbers I think GLA-SNN will struggle. EIR couldn't make it work and BE are up against a daily service to EDI with this route.

The SAA do need promote this route. I haven't seen any advertisment's to let people know about this route. They have done a great job promoting United's new service to ORD and US Airways new service to PHL.
