IRELAND WEST AIRPORT KNOCK

[confused atco]

Councillor Joe Mellett........... revealed the airport owes €85 million to the bank

Hopefully the detail of the report will be published soon

Dept of Tourism transport and Sport released it last month linked above.

Per said report
Western Development Commission is owed €1.9 million.
The banks are owed €7.9 million. Not quite as headline grabbing as €85 million.

But its still a lot.


Re Eindhoven

now back to 2p/w

Per "Kinocker"

EIN was released at 2 weekly and is currently showing at 2 weekly.

So it appears it newer was anything but twice a week?

If there is sufficient interest 2015 may show an improvement.

Hi Airnoc, do you think the FR Prestwick will have a significant effect on the Edi flight or are they far enough apart to warrant their own flights?

[airnoc]

Got timetable from Flybe website and they must think that they have a positive outlook on numbers to run the route

[CabinCrewe]

...did they not look at last years ?

[Locker10a]

Sorry If this had been dealt with already, but what are the planned charter ops to NOC this summer ?

[EI-A330-300]

A weekly ACE charter which is going via SNN this year and the few flights to Croatia.

[iwak]

Great to see edi back for summer had good loads last summer!

[Fly_bill]

Edi isn't operating this summer that's a service via man/bhx that's on their website

[iwak]

Have a look at timetable section edi wasn't there a few days ago and also the dates are from may to sept 2014!!!

[Kinocker]

Would be a surprising move to re-start it at this stage. It is still not bookable and we are half way through February now. It would be good to see it back for the peak season.

In terms of competition though, i see that passengers on the NOC-PIK route can get free onward rail travel to anywhere in Scotland this year so flybe might be up against it here.

[iwak]

Edi / noc still not in Booking engine anybody know if it will be back this summer?

[Kinocker]

I can't see it coming back at this stage. We'll just have to hope that Prestwick becomes a successful replacement.

Some news of additional summer flights today though. Stansted will be going double daily on Mondays this summer in addition to the previously announced Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. I make that 27 return flights to London airports each week from Knock (five return trips on Fridays and Sundays, four on Thursdays and Mondays and three the other days) which is a serious capacity increase in the space of a year.

Also Lanzarote is going to twice weekly for June and July and Alicante is going to three a week in August.

That should all lead to some good passenger numbers this summer.

[mart901]

I notice LGW is changing to A320 about a week earlier than originally planned, but not in time for St.Patrick's rush, wonder if this is just operational or demand lead?

[Knock63]

I hear FR are moving a flight to a later slot on a Tuesday afternoon, anyone know which destination ??

[iwak]

Noc to stn gets an increase for winter 14/15 double dily on mon,weds,fri and sun.long overdue should do well.

[airnoc]

Hi All

As Le Bourget isn't used for scheduled it'd have to be.

[Knock63]

The Apron extension must be close now, all these flights grouping together must be putting them under severe pressure.

Ireland West Airport Knock
Great shot of this 757 on final touchdown this eve at Ireland West Airport Knock.
All planes go to heaven : )

Hi all

Thanks in advance
