Is this to do with the pyrite issue used in some concrete in Dublin. about 100k house affected during the boom and also parts of the m3 motorway.
Think i read an article in some paper last week about it being used in some part of the airport but can't find it now. Could be wrong on that
some details on the pyrite issue here.

Cyprus Airways?
Anyone else hear that Cyprus Airways have taken up the DAA's route incentive scheme and are coming to Dublin this year?
A scheduled service to Larnaca is a step in the right direction though I can't see there being too much demand in winter...

The Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) has argued that a 40pc hike in passenger charges set before Christmas by the Aviation Regulator isn't high enough to allow it to operate in a "sustainable and financially viable manner".
Interesting this bit ... (emphasis added)
Documents released yesterday by the Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR) that detail the recent findings of an Aviation Appeals Panel, reveal that the DAA maintained that the new charges would not raise its funds from operation-to-debt ratio to an investment-grade ratio until 2012.
Dublin Airport Authority announces successful ?600 million benchmark Eurobond issue
Or they could develop a business model that attracts more aircraft and passengers to improve their ratio, rather than just running a mediocre shopping centre with air links.

If done properly, it has potential.
Cyprus Airways offers a number of Middle Eastern connections that aren't offered direct from Dublin.
Also, there are no direct transatlantic connections from Cyprus. Unfortunately, CY have no codeshare agreements with any of the airlines operating transatlantic from Dublin.

Cyprus Airways
Im delighted about Cyprus Airways decision to serve Dublin it was something that always buggered me! just a quick comparsion also....
Cyprus -> Population: 870,000 (2010 Est) -> No services from ROI.
Malta -> Population: 414,000 (2008 Est) -> 3 weekly services FR, DUB.
Difference: 456,000 (Cyprus)
The route could work quite a lot of Cypriots in Cork & Dublin. I have been informed that the route is not happening and that the DAA have had no talks with Cyprus Airways, 2011 could be on the cards but AS OF YET the DAA has to talk to Cyprus Airways.

I know I will be heckled, but just being honest about it. Its hardly much of a win. Its like telling me Monarch or Britania or Thompson will be coming to Dublin. Cyprus is already very well served with charters from Dublin and as a country doesnt exactly have much going for it except beaches and low class british thugs.
In fairness - it is something for Dublin, which must be applauded and credit given where it is due in this case. But its not that much really, nothing big at all. Lets keep it in perspective.

Now guys lets not get all Air India here!! Have thay expressed an intrest in operating to DUB or have they officially announced they have?
Not wanting to put a dampner on it but Eurocypria (UI) who are owned by Cyprus Airways already operate into dublin as charter flights, and CY have announced that they intend to merge UI and CY so unfortunatly all that may be the case is a swop of airlines all be it a Scheduled flight and all that that envolves for a Charter flight ?
I really would doubt that the market could sustane all the IT flights from DUB and a scheduled flight even during the Summer. A winter scheduled service on the other hand would do rather well.

Its a bit like saying United / Thai etc... operate into Dublin already isnt it dublindispatch ? - as in they offer code share arrangements ! This is really scraping the bottom of the barrell stuff. It reminds me of the scene in the movie "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" where "the Ugly" is scraping into the grave with his own two hands grunting. What next !

Well all this speculation arrives at nothing once again! as i said there was no DAA meeting or arangements with Cyprus Airways! This basically confirms that: Hopes dashed for Dublin flights - Cyprus Mail

Kavs8 ... That article is old (28th April) , It clearly states no flights in 2010
The CY article is more recent, referring to 2011
