It does look like a done deal, according to colleagues in our Dublin office (non aviation related), Hainan had some concerns but they have been sorted out and it's a case of when not if it happens now.
It's going to be a route that will go from strength to strength. Another good result in terms of route development, a lot of regions could learn a few things.

All the talk about LAS actually came from one comment in a single interview with the CEO where he mentioned it was something they were looking into. It was never mentioned again apart from here and on other forums which ran with it and assumed an announcement was imminent.
I'd say it's still a route they'd consider but there's other routes more likely in my opinion.

So that appears to be a net loss of 19 rotations. Are Stobart just going to park the aircraft up? Or are there to be new destinations? Or will there be an increase in capacity out of Cork/Shannon? Or will they be operating more flights for FlyBe?
A reduction in services between Ireland and Britian ... welcome to the new normal!
I was speaking with a number of people during the National Heritage Week (Aug 19-27) who run events and sites of interest and they all said they've seen a drop off in the number of UK visitors over the summer. Words used were "noticable", "significant" and "big".
That won't be helped with the continued decline in the vaule of Sterling.

Or maybe the Brits are heading elsewhere but Ireland?
With most UK airports reporting very large rises in pax numbers, including many seeing 'their busiest months ever', clearly there are still lots travelling, and they have to be going somewhere.......

I think people booked their holiday quite a while ago. I noticed that the %increases in July were less than in June. It will be interesting to see if the winter traffic holds up.

All obtained today so they should be mostly correct, could you point out the inaccuracies?

Never implied that EI made the cuts, however the flights are branded Are Lingus regional so I put that in for recognition.
Newcastle is perhaps the worst decrease, with flights being cut more than in half.

Have crossed checked schedules last year and actual ops and conclude the following:
EDI operated average of 24-27 weekly last winter.
GLA operated average of 25 weekly last winter.
My info says daily only before increasing to 11 weekly in April 17.
BRS looks about right while NCL is as well.
The 30/37 weekly are early/late summer periods frequency and not winter ones.
