I'm inclined to agree with Copenhagen, it's about commerciality. Perhaps EI had every intention of going year round, but prevailing bookings may have just not added up. The distances involved in the lower winter after the Christmas rush are just too lean, may be better to keep the metal on the ground.
Shannon are in bed with Ryanair, almost everything will be on Ryanair's terms, and that will continue until the screw is turned when the airport management aim to make a sustains be return. In which case FR will make curtailments.
All the better for Cork airport, who hopefully will be wise enough to avoid designing deals to get FR to operate the lions share of flights into Cork ... A much more sustainable future will result ...

Must be a 6-7 year old billboard: AF opb WX operated a twice daily service from SNN between 2008 and 2009:

Could you be more specific? Was it on the dual carriageway into the city? On the motorway near the tunnel? Id like to have a look on streetview.
If it says 5x weekly, then we may be on to something, as this seems realistic for the Shannon market. Its strange to advertise something though if there's no news about it and its not for sale.

Thats old news, this was announced in November.

The concept of the 70th anniversary of American Airlines first service to Shannon is a strange one given that there was a huge gap in service, best of luck to them nonetheless..

Edit:
In fact, you are correct!
United's Newark service is only 6 weekly from JAN-MAR though.
This represents an extra 7 T/A flights a week in the dead JAN-MAR season! The LF's must be good if they are putting JFK year round. It could change though...

Rumors that the Shannon schedule with Ryanair will be launched soon. Expect Tenerife (TFS) to go year round (at the expense of FUE) and Paris-Beauvais to go to 2 per week. Kaunas will be dropped and no new routes added.

No chance of Kaunas been dropped load factors of between 80-90% since started - agree on Paris looking at load factors it appears to be performing very poorly load factors of around 50% in September/ October can't see it lasting unless dramatic improvement

Numbers available on CSO site
Schedules not up for Kaunas base at all (aside from STN and probably DUB) so probably not dropped. To give it credit it has been one of the busier services at SNN
