Aer Lingus
With EI operating Dublin and seems to be well and they have added cork starting at end of march what are the chances of them adding more routes to Ireland?
Has NCL ever had links to
Knock
Kerry
Shannon
Galway
Could they add any of the above are they too close to the other airports already served?
Would EI start BFS from NCL taking on flybe and easyjet?

Isn't Galway now closed to commercial traffic?
In terms of those airports to the UK, Are Arran did operate GWY-MAN and EIr did operate NOC-BHX. NOC-MAN/BHX is now in the care of Flybe.
EIr operate 3 daily SNN-MAN and 2 daily SNN-BHX.

I forgot about Ryanair doing Shannon it must have been very short
EIR have the right size aircraft to make these routes work.
Was just wondering if Shannon was too close to Cork.
If EIR were too move into BFS also I think they would make a good go at ncl.
As the fares that are being charged with flybe and easyjet are high when I've been looking in the past

What benefit could EIR have for the airline itself, other airlines on the route and passengers? The cities are linked quite happily as they are with low fare, reliable all jet flights. I honestly can't see what the benefit of EIR flying the route, other than a spotters logbook.
And on the subject over the last few years EI have come and gone several times on the DUB route yet U2 and BE have provided constant service for over a decade. I don't know when you were looking for but EZY/BE provide good value fares if booked in time. EIR, with its high cost base cannot compete profitably.

In you world EIN have the 'right' size aircraft to work, but are you not forgetting one thing?
DEMAND?
Lets bang an ATR42 NCL-KIR, apparently it's the right size of aircraft for this route to work, but we wont get any passengers on it.
Go figure.

Sadly this forum has degenerated into a spotters/pipe dream wishlist with very very few comments that are worth reading. The childish immature attitude of certain contributors spoils it for the rest who in the end will not bother contributing. Even worse there are those who keep repeating pipe dreams just to deliberately annoy and wind up others.

There is just no sustained demand to other destinations in Ireland.
Shannon would only work if, like many have said before, it tied in with a westbound transatlantic and could take advantage of the pre-clearance of customs. If they won't do it with Dublin you've little or no hope of Shannon.
Galway is a shed and last time I flew in there there were only Aer Arran flights to Luton, Manchester and Newcastle. Incidentally, the flight arrivals board was a Powerpoint slide which was quite amusing with some of the sound effects and swizzy animations they used for a lark one day to pass the inane sense of boredom.

I'm sure, a few years ago Aer Arran operated for a short period NCL - Galway maybe someone else can confirm this.
