Think they meant that one as its the closest match to C-GHPE in terms of passengers.

C-GHPE has the old AC interior and it will resume flights from Tuesday.
It does. Pictures on AC website.
There are 24 Business class seats on offer from DUB like all other AC 767 but the older 767 have more Y seats than the new ones.
The B77L has a much better product up front I think?

US Airways to use a B767 on DUB - PHL for the whole winter season this year. They had planned to have B757.
Last year they had a B767 between 29 Oct - 4 Jan only.

(Holidays) Czech Airlines will not operate from Dublin this winter. Its not know the reason for the pull out but Europe Airpost will take over most of the routes.
The airline is currently cost cutting and restructuring. They are due back for summer 2012 season.

A friend of mine is going to Lanzarote on Sunday, He flying with Europe Airpost and today he got a letter from the tour operator saying that there would be a fuel stop in Santa De Compostela on the return flight. This makes the flight time 5 hrs 15 mins instead of 4 hrs 10 mins. Anybody know the reasons for this. The outbound flight is direct.
They asked could they change onto the other Europe Airpost flight that departs 15 mins earlier and he was told it was full when it is not. That flight is direct.

if memory serves me correct i think the first flight is on their larger aircraft and the second on the B737-300 so maybe with a full load it cannot make it and needs the fuel stop. just a theory

Both flights are operated by B737-300. Its a fueling problem in ACE and it was not planned to happon. The flight alway arrives back before 01.30 if it leaves on time.
91% of passengers using DUB airport between April - June waited less than 5 mins to clear security in both Terminals. Only once the queue exceed 20 mins. It was messed at both Terminals over 17,700 times.

Air Baltic are leaving DUB for winter at the end of the month. Yet there are operating most flights with a B757-200 insted of the B737-500. Thats quiet an increase for an airline which says there is not enough demand for a route. If they didn't start to operate the route daily I think they would not be pulling it.

Top Business leaders to hold talks with to United/Continental about starting SFO next year. Don't think they will be the ones to start it but Aer Lingus would of the advantage of connecting pax.
From United/Continental
From United/Continental
When asked whether it could be viable for the airline, it said: “We do not have specific figures on the potential for this type of operation. Operating a west coast route poses particular challenges for any carrier.
“It requires more resources including fuel and is dependent on there being the right market size locally in order to make it viable.
“At United, we are in the business of being competitive and working to ensure that routes we serve are viable.”
