DUB

Well as someone who works for a handling agent in Dublin, I would take a lot of that with a pinch of salt as I know that at least 4 or 5 of the charter airlines listed will not have any programme through Dublin this summer, but on the plus side I do see that Freebird,Air Italy,AEU,and FB are missing from the list.

I think that a lot of the JKK destinations listed are one offs for the Spanish Student Charter Programme that operates every year.

AEU at DUB

A B737 comes in @ 1600 from BOH with pax on a Sat then operates a charter to I think FAO and then does a FUE kinda area on the SUN am back again pops down to PMI back again and then operates as a pax flight back to BOH around 0100 on the Monday morning.

The BOH-DUB-BOH flights are for sale on the Palmair website, but I havent a baldy notion who the tour operator is ex-Dub, or what the booked loads will be like.

Brave pax that are going to come over on the SAT and go back on the MON am. A single a/c charter operation, I can only guess what time the BOH sector will leave DUB on the monday morning!! But still its only £19.00 each way or sum such thing, great for a hen night or stag night in Dub.

if Air India goes ahead are they making it into a Scizzor Hub? i really hope it does go ahead. will eventually give us some long haul flights to put out CBP to use on. any ideas on when the announcement is expected regarding the situation.

Air India

I'm sure Fraport (operators of Frankfurt) will be putting together some other offers for Air India to maintain the hub in FRA so we'll need to wait and see what happens on this issue.

Dublin Airport Cancels Aircraft Charges

Heard on RTE over the weekend that Dublin Airport are to cancel all charges for aircraft that were grounded at the Airport during the recent ash crisis. Any other Airport doing this seems a good idea when you think of the millions the airlines have lost due to cancelled flights.

They also cancelled parking charges for passengers whose cars were parked after their due back date.

I would have been surprised if they weren't doing this.

I believe a lot of other airports have done this, without going to the press and boasting about it.

APD comment

Wrong "bastards". The DAA doesn't impose the APD tax- only governments can levy taxes.

We can't avoid such a tax but one could charge PAX an APD handling fee and make some form of profit on it or at least make it cost neutral.

BOH didn't charge for any cars parked on-site that were delayed nor did the hotel just outside of LHR that my car spent an extra 8 days at...

Think it was pretty much standard at all airports TBH

Maybe we can stop the other "bastards" from charging to check in (using our own time, ink, paper and internet usage), carrying anything above a pen on board (how many pens for the kg limit?), stupid money for (so called) food and drink, possibly using a toilet?

Maybe the time mite be fast approaching that the first LCC that starts the crawl back up the ladder to a Full service carrier mite be now!!

The fisrt airline that charges a resonable fare that includes all your charges or at least breaks the total fare down to easy opt out rather than opt in portions or even just throws in a free cuppa and bickey mite just win over enough passengers to do quite well

I see Ryanair are cancelling the Dublin - Prague route at the end of the Summer timetable. Maybe Czech Airlines might consider coming back on the route. I used them several times in the past to connect to destinations in the east, mainly Tel Aviv. They are a good airline and Prague is an easy airport to connect through.
