Dublin/Air Inda
And another thing whats all these wild rumours from DAA staff about Air India of all airlines?? Tech stops across the pond?? Or the start of the vultures circling above waiting to pick over the traffic rights to the states of Aer Lingus, btw you could also Etihad into that rumour pot. 16 flights a week by next year apperantly thru Dublin, would would the aviation industry be without a good or even a bad rumour!!

Anyone knows how many aircrafts will FR base at DUB during the summer and how many routes they will operate? I've heard there's gonna be a lot of changes in their timetable from DUB this summer.

Incident involving CO 757 today ...
Incident: Continental B752 near Dublin on Mar 18th 2010, pressurization problems
Sounded like an uncomfortable ride - aborted approach to 10, landing (fast) on 16.
Wind 180-190/20-22 knots.

It flew past my window on finals for 16 today, was wondering why it was so late, DAA webiste didnt show any significant delay so this explains it.
The approach didnt look any fater than any of the other aircraft going by.

Looks like this one is gathering some pace:
Air India considers Terminal 2 as hub for US flights - Irish, Business - Independent.ie
Let's hope it works; all stops pulled out (so to speak!). If Dempsey does one useful thing during his tenure as Transport minister, backing this all the way would be it.

I wonder how things will work for the Thompson Airways programme ex-DUB this summer with the news that Skyservice has just collapsed. TOM where to have used a SKyservice A320 this Summer for there programme instead of the bucket of scrap that was CGTBB!!

I can't say how true this is but I've heard that Pier B could be closing come November. All shops that wish to move from Pier B will now be located on the street. DAA recently boarded up some of their shops as they finished selling crystalware and electronics.

Well if the DAA decide to go ahead as planned, they'll be extending Pier B which will be complete in late 2011 - http://www.dublinairportauthority.co...ressFinal1.pdf
I read somewhere that there are "structural problems" with the current Pier B that require work which will necessitate it being closed to the public. So, it is possible that post the opening of T2 and its associated gates that the area will be closed for refurb/extension.
Anyway, from the looks of the last page of the 2005 DAA plan, it seems they already factored in a reduction in traffic. There are fewer aircraft depicted being catered for in the 2015 version of the airport than in the 2005 one. Maybe the DAA saw the recession before everyone else!

That plan has definitely been put on hold along with the second runway. With capacity falling even more dramatically than last year I highly doubt there will be any more expansion for the foreseeable future.
To add more fuel to this, it'd seems Aer Lingus's Chief Executive Christoph Mueller said that some of the older facilities in T1 will be closed with the opening of T2. Link to that interview.
Also I have been reminded that the prefabs at Pier D were suppose to be removed with the opening of T2. Anyone have any information on this?

Dixons
From the hoarding thats gone up around the old electronics sales area across from Butlers Cafe, it looks to be Dixons Travel that will take over the electronics sales in the airport.

Are you sure TCX is doing the palma??
Kefelonia is a mistake on the monarch website it's supposed to be heraklion.
Thomas cook own Panorama, Sunworld and direct holidays so all TCX and MON flights are bookable through them.
