So is that 13 BA flights a day out of DUB? Have they ever done anything near that many before? I mean I remember dashes to SOU, 737s to MAN and Tridents and 1-11s to LHR, but never 13 of them......

Clearly with such over capacity on Dub LCY , there won't be much in it for any 3 of the airlines . WX is very well established on the route ... So sf least they will get their fair share of the business. However, clearly BA marking out it's territory opposite Flybe.
BE have more to worry about here .
Interesting that BA came to the route only to abandon it mid season but that was 2008! A very different time ...

That's not going to last! To have any hope of success there will need to be leisure pax using the services, and with the cost base at LCY there's not a huge hope. Having said that, I can't see cityjet exiting such a high frequency, lucrative route so easily. Flybe look the weakest.
What a/c do cityjet use nowadays on the route?

Heard a whisper than UA are considering a daily ORD service in 2015. Not sure its reliable however its not the first rumour about such a route. UA are due to make a routes announcement shortly and what I can gather it will be long haul but not sure if its to Europe or Asia. Heuston would be a better addition, not sure DUB needs a fourth daily service to ORD. Their current 3 daily flights are completely sold out everyday.

It's also a jump from 5 daily LCY flights up to 14 daily LCY flights when you include flybe. It's going to be bloody...

Well, it'll certainly make plane-to-train connections easier!
There is a lot of buzz on other sites about the Ethiopian ADD-DUB-LAX service becoming a reality. Would be great if it happened, but still skeptical. Anyone heard anything else?

I'd like Houston too, but if the market wants ORD...

They've always been one of the best airlines in Africa (I know that's not saying much but...)
early adopters of a lot of Boeing kit, and quite a few people use Addis as a hub for less fortunate spots

So DUB'S first 787 service (tripler can't do DUB-LAX due to the runway .
DUB-LAX worked in the past. This goes to show the market DUB could chase when 28R/10L is built.
JAI in Brussels, SIA in Frankfurt, with US preclearance they would move to DUB in a heartbeat if the runway was long enough
