Pleasently surprised, that is a very solid schedule from EI!!

I am a little baffled by the Krakow reduction, as there would be quite alot of "Irish" tourist traffic in addition to Polish migrants on that route. However, I guess there is also alot of competition!!

Etihad claims record passenger numbers for 2011. Dublin comes in as the airlines 10th busiest route. From travelweekly.co.uk

Etihad Airways’ busiest route was to Bangkok from Abu Dhabi with the airline carrying more than 500,000 passengers to the Thai capital during the year.
This was closely followed by London Heathrow (479,000), Manila (446,000), and Jeddah (289,000) which represented a 48% increase over 2010. Then came Sydney, Frankfurt, Paris, Manchester, Doha and Dublin to complete the list of the carrier’s 10 most popular routes.

Aeroflot? any update or tap?

[PPRuNeUser0176]

DUB had 18.8 million passengers and as usual Ryanairs PR machine was on form today saying they will contuine to cut fligths etc etc but yet they add 3 new routes from Cork and increase Milan BGY season.

Not including domestic traffic both Cork and Dublin saw increase in International traffic.

Latest News > Passenger Numbers Increased By 1% At DAA Airports In 2011

[NorthernCounties]

With DUB now experiencing growth again, and Aer Lingus additional plans rotations to destinations which could provide in the region of an additional 400k seats this year, an NAMA pressing ahead with the development of a site nearby the airport, does anyone think we'll see a new runway any time soon?

[840]

The problem is the financing of it. If the DAA could sort that out, I'm sure the government would be more than delighted to see it go ahead. A large infrastructure project that they aren't paying for would be a nice economic boost.

[stab3.5up]

I do think that a new runway is a case of when rather than if. its interesting to see that the uk govt is really giving some thought now to a thames airport.

is it a case of a new rwy in dub being needed or sexing up rwy 10/28 exteneding reworkingetc.

[EI-A330-300]

Finance is a problem but a new one can't be built until 23.5 million passengers is reached. Aviation Regulator.has said this.

Not a hope. There will be very few capital projects over the next few years for obvious reasons, and there are much more important projects that deserve the money over a new runway, and with the cost of maintaining current infrastructure, it may get to the stage where no capital projects will be funded. And given that DAA debt is classed as 'junk' by most of the ratings agencies, theres no way they'll be able to source financing elsewhere to build it.

So realistically, the most the DAA can hope for is funding a few years from now for an extension to runway 28/10.

Emirates upgrading DXB to a B777 from 1 June but possibly 1 July.

[stab3.5up]

Oh very good. bookings must be good. i know that inbound numbers on some flights on occassions not even in treble figures. a sad reflection. ey and ek must be the new b+i line and sealink i fear. very sad indeed.

[Jamie2k9]

EK need extra check in desks and bookings are very high over the next 3 months.

How are EY loads holding up are EK affecting them?

No Fire service then no flights.

If it happens it will be weeks away, as they have a registered agreement that it has to go to the (LRC) and (LC) before it goes ahead and it will take weeks and it will most lightly will be sorted out.

It's reported that Air Baltic will resume Riga-Dublin 4 times per week from 01 June.
