[quote]Washington DC and Toronto?
One wonders if they'll be given fifth freedom rights on those too. Their times for LAX are great IMHO – it'd be good to have more choice.[/QUOTE
While not rights have being requested I expect if IAG get cleared for EI, ET will have a very good chance of getting them especially for competition especially as AA/US also have JV with IAG.
The blackmail of US airlines dropping DUB won't work!
AI didn't even get as far as Dep of Transport, ET have!

Please dont let this turn into the air india rumours but if it happens great
ETH500 and ETH502. They only stop in Rome westbound, and return direct to ADD from North America.
Very surprised if this happens. Still I felt the same when the LAX rumours started.

From someone who knows, I can confirm the rumour is correct. Ethiopian airline will use Dublin airport as a technical stop for fueling only. Washington Dulles is a daily flight, with Toronto only operating 3 times a week. However traffic rights have not been approved for these 2 routes currently. As already stated, the return flight will operate direct back to Addis and not via Dublin. The Los Angeles will operate with traffic rights via Dublin both ways, starting on the 20th June. I hope that clarifies the rumour. The reason why they are moving there operation from Rome to Dublin is cited on rising nighttime costs for landing and parking at Rome. Dublin offered them a much better deal
Looks like I'll be eating my words so. Apologies folks.
It makes sense I guess even from a staffing point of view i.e. If one of the fuel stoppers goes tech they can look after pax, and with no 5th freedom being sought the US carriers can't get annoyed.
It'll skew the pax from Africa stats and to the states and Canada, as in they'll be counted as arriving AND departing even though nobody will have joined or left the onward flight, but then the same thing happens with BA in SNN, PIA in MAN etc.
