They say that 4,000 jobs can be created. Any thoughts?
To make his case absolutely clear perhaps he should adorn all his aircraft with the slogan 'I WANT TO FLY FOR F**K ALL'

Ryanair should of published the letter they sent the DAA. It would do harm to other airlines but not many airlines are increasing services even with the travel tax reduction.
The charges at Dublin Airport are a lot cheaper than many European airports.

This is the case dublinindispatch, they will operate double daily service every other day so not much of a seat reduction just a better schedule, great for South American connections, the exsisting schedule isnt great for DUB-SA traffic. Iberia DUB staff are also going, Servisair have control.

There seems to be a lag and overlap in the system, as the 'double daily' flights leave within 5 minutes of each other (one at 14:40 and the other at 14:45), so im guessing one will be removed from the booking engine soon.

No British Midland Lufthansa Sar Alliance International this week what will we be called next week is staying in Terminal One. I believe its to do with charges for moving the Business Lounge to T2 and the increased costs of using the check in facilities. Lets face it if they all moved to T2, it would become like the B pier again!!!
B pier is lovely to work in now that our green friends have moved to T2. No holding for stands, no equipment abandoned all over the place, all very civilised now in there and im sure the D pier is the same.
Shame about all the road works and rebuilding still going on. Has T2 been offically signed off as completed or whats going on as surely if they still working it must be a cost overrun???

Wait, I thought EI was still using Pier B sometimes? I'd have thought that T2 wouldn't have the capacity for the complete EI operation when you throw in all the other long haul operators?

I think bmi british midland international star alliance will be renamed again next week to lufthansas b*tch airline.
Sounds like B pier is a nice place to work now. I hated working there as EI had priority over everyone (not openly) but it was obvious.
Are bmi going to upgrade that room they call a lounge?

I am not sure if T2 has been signed off yet, often that actually doesn't happen for a while after the particular development is in use. Largely, to allow for snagging to be completed.
As for the roads situation in the surrounds, don't forget the plans have changed slightly as there was to be a large hotel almost directly "landside" of the terminal. This obviously wasn't built which might have required a redraw on the surrounding infrastructre.

If another LoCo came in, Ryanair would dump capacity on their routes. Like happened with Go or EasyJet.
So, any airline in question would have to come in with deep pockets and also with the intention of basing at least 4 or 5 aircraft in Dublin.
Ryanair have been strangely tolerant of Wizzair on Ireland-Poland, but there seems to be significant crossover in shareholders between the two companies.

its a weel known fact at this stage that ryan and wizz avoid each other(look at wizz routes from cork to poland and ryan routes from dub to poland....)very similar.
it will take about another year id say before the DAA while have very little choice(hopefully the govt will get involved) but to try again with ryanair,but by then MOL might have all his planes elsewhere!!looks like he is fighting with girona airport too in spain.
its a pity about shannon,i doubt it will ever get back to the good times because of the road network now but cork could easily be expanded if he wanted.however all MOL wants is dub.i cant see many loco airlines coming in,if the only deal on the table involves all 3 airports.

I don't know. I think that Ryanair throwing its toys out of the pram on this one will benefit the other airlines in Dublin. I'm sure there were some happy faces in EI HQ yesterday evening...
