Dublin Airport charges to be reduced marginally as airport failed to meet two of 13 quality of service targets set out by the regulator.

RTÉ Business: DAA fails two of 13 quality measures

You never know Ryanair may reverse the cuts.

I would think Ryanair will wait and see if the current government decide to sell the State "asset" that is the DAA before deciding their near term strategy at DUB.

Michael O'Leary International Airport, Dublin anyone? Is the airport code 'LEO' allocated yet?

Anyone know anything about the BD handling contract? Hearing rumours that BD may go to SHP to be with LH? Would be a big blow to Servisair!

Malev Airlines are now going back year round with 6 weekly flights to Budapest so that may help the blow. On the other had Start 1 Airlines are going back year round with 2 weekly flights to Vilnius and they use Sky Handling.

Also American Airlines are going seasonal so another blow for serviair

AFAIK the DAA, the IAA, nor the government's stake in Aer Lingus will be included in the state assets review.

What a pity. I was rather looking forward to DUB airport being renamed to ' Dublin Leo Hairy Camel World Airport'. Got a nice ring to it.

The DAA (including ORK and SNN) are in the state assets review.

Irish government set to sell off state assets | Irish News | IrishCentral

It would be better for the DAA to be sold and the 3 airports to be broken up.

The entire Star Alliance work is up for grabs in the New Year Feb/Mar time and there will be a Star Alliance mangagment team for DUB not individual ailine one. BD would have to buy out there contact to jump to SHP before that. AA may be sesonal but US Airways increasing as are BT

US Airways only had 5 or sometimes 4 flights a week last winter, 6 is a good improvement.
Any news of BD having the late night/early departure flight from Dublin back?

Thats not going to happon as the aircraft is not in Dublin over night. For the winter timetable is much the same as the current one.

A lot more people are flying via Abu Dhabi with EY to get to Aisa and Australlia

Also EY are keeping the 10 weekly flights for the winter so it will help Servisair.

Does anyone know (roughly) what config EY has on the A332s it sends to DUB. They have three different configurations (one in a 2 class 262 seat layout and the other two configs have three classes). I'd have thought that DUB would not have much of a F Class demand, but I think that the airline still offers F Class out of DUB?

If they do offer J and Y only, then surely the 77W is an option down the road, as this acft is configured for 2 classes only?

Business Class is offered from DUB

The longest runway in DUB is 2637m and I think its to short to handle the B777. During the ach problem in April they used a B777 on the DUB route but I don't know if it was restricted or not. And if it was restricted by how much either.

Coral Economy - 240
Peal Business - 20
Total seats per flight - 262

They don't us Diamound First on the route.

All as per booking system.

777 going to the UAE would have no problems at Dublin. Plenty of room.

How happy are BD with SVS? What are the BT increases? I was to believe VNO is dropped for the winter and RIX as it was? Also Blue Air will continue throughout the winter with 2 weekly flights to BBU. TU/TH.


I stand corrected, have had a look and VNO continues 4 weekly.

Was there when Etihad sent in the B77W during the volcanic ash saga. Remember seeing it take off from runway 10. For those familiar with Dublin airport there is a large car pull in area near the end of runway 10 (start of 28). It went right up to their - the back wheels just lifting off straight in front the parked cars. Must have had about 100m of runway left if even that.

How did the Singapore and Air France Cargo 747s (and the AF cargo B777) manage it regularly?
