I did read about a year or 2 ago that Turkish were interesting in tapping into the Dalaman holiday market after several meetings with the tourism chiefs of the area, linking cities in Northern and Western Europe.
Given Dublin doesn't have a huge charter operation, could they be looking into resurrecting that plan, with Dublin in mind?

Dublin Airport results
Hi All,
what a sparkling set of results by Dublin airport. Great to see the single most important piece of transport infrastructure on the island showing growth.
The stand out for me was the relationship betwee the 'Middle east/ Africa' and the 'Transatlantic' one. A ratio of 2.1M:643K, i.e. 76:23. Incredible what the Middle east/ aftrica portion is achieving. Hence, I see massive potential in the transatlantic business. These should compliment each other strongly.
Suggests that easily Dublin can truly become a gateway for the USA at a much greater scale than current exists. Lets hope the facilities can handle this.

It also further shows up EI's hopeless efforts at an expansion eastwards some years ago. While they were never going to be as well positioned strategically as the gulf carriers there was definitely an opportunity missed by them in that market when they decided to step away from it and stick rigidly to low cost European and transatlantic only.

Kinocker,
I disagree entirely with your assertion that Aer Lingus expansion eastward was hopeless. They tried it as did Gulf air in the peak of booming Ireland.
They didn't have a clear strategic link for seamless travel through Dubai. Besides the airlines of the Emirates have the resources and scale to make it work where other's did not.
Putting a focus on the core and profitable markets ie the U.S. was the right choice and they have made substantial profess to date.
