DUBLIN
Just like the little used, then completely resurfaced, then closed because the new D Pier blocked the view from the control tower, Runway 29, the short lived Pier C is no more (it was completed in 2000 at a cost of approx €150m and closed in 2008)
With most of it having been knocked down to facilitate construction of the new terminal and "E Pier"/400 gates, what remains of "C" will act as little more than the airside connection between T1 and T2.(who says the DAA don't plan ahead?)
Pier B was scheduled to be closed for major remedial work and then also extended following the opening of T2. But weather any of that happens in the current economic climate and the growing debts of the DAA is anyones guess.

American Airlines are to launch a significant expansion from JFK, so more than likely it'll be them. Its been rumoured on a number of forums they were looking at starting JFK-DUB.

Although I don't dispute the AA JFK-DUB route the way Eoghain Corry was talking it sounded bigger. Perhaps LAX coming back to the EI network?? Maybe a Caribbean destination for the winter?? Well here's hoping anyway ....

New US service
dublinaviator
The discussion on another forum was about a US Air Charlotte service direct by
762 I believe, although I might be wrong about the aircraft type. MAN - CLT
was also mentioned as a possibility.

Oh right, I assumed it'd be via Philadelphia like it was a couple of years ago, is there a big enough market for a direct service though? Its good news either way, whether its AA or US.

Can't really see American going head to head with Aer Lingus and Delta on JFK-Dub. There have been rumours for some time about Charlotte by US Air though 757 not 767. Could it be United to IAD?

Not only would American be competing with EI and Delta at JFK (where Delta now has a very extensive range of connections) but with the double daily to Newark where again, Continental offers a huge range of connections (as American does at Chicago).
My money is on US to Charlotte

AA expansion Dublin.
Heard there was a meeting today in Dublin between AA & the DAA to launch a new DUB - LAX/SFO/SJC route. ORD to be restored to daily from May 2010. Would be delighted myself to see California back on the destination list from Dublin.

If AA cant make their ORD route work year round from DUB, what chance would LAX have.
Firstly, it would dilute the ORD loads and there are very few worthwhile transfers available at LAX as the pax would be 'backtracking' DUB-LAX-XXX, so would rely heavily on O&D traffic which I dont think DUB has.
MIA is more realistic but again, you have an issue. MIA would work better in the winter (ala MAN back when it ran) but if AA have canned ORD for the winter, what chance would MIA have?

I think someone is having fun. I appreciate Herr Muller is taking Aer Lingus in new directions, but I can't imagine they're planning to add routes to Alexandroupolis, Barcelonnette, or Balikesir any time soon.
