Dublin passengers left to fend for themselves after Hungarian airline collapses · TheJournal.ie

113 passengers were due to go to BUD this morning and had checked in for the flights.
The DAA spokesperson said it had no outstanding debts or obligations from Malev
Didn't know that it was only DUB and TLV that Malev night stopped.

I quiried the reduction on the Krakow route, another poster commented on what may be an aspect of their decision. The thread is "Airlines, Airports & Routes"....thats what happens here.

If you think Aer Lingus should do what it has always done for the past number of decades and that they should only appeal to Irish people, then tats a perfectly valid opinion. However, please don't complain when other posters voice their opinions!

Ryanair's passenger plan doesn't stack up: Deloitte - Irish, Business - Independent.ie

Gov said tax will go if Ryanair add 1 million passengers but Ryanair wamt 40% reduction in charges for 10 years at Dublin and tax scrapped.
to bring in 1 million.

MOL claimed that 55% of there passegers from Ireland are inbound. More like 55% outbound.

Also Palemo to DUB from 5 April.

Just hypocrisy on FR's part, given all the charges they see fit to impose on Irish travellers - far in excess of the measly €3 in taxes (far less than those in the UK, probably much lower than in other countries). One can't help thinking that they deliberately ask for things they know they won't get ...

Sadly, a sight we'll never see again in DUB:

JetPhotos.Net Photo » HA-LOP (CN: 29354) Malév Hungarian Airlines Boeing 737-7Q8 by John Fitzpatrick

One of the best of the old Eastern European carriers - and the first (apart from Tarom) to operate Western aircraft, introducing its first 737-200, back in 1988.

Malev operated a number of charters to Dublin down through the years, before operating its scheduled service in recent years; a relative recalls flying to BUD on a Tupolev back in the mid 1970s.

Is that a capacity increase or frequency increase?

the press release from the DAA says,

"The route, which is currently operated by Iberia franchisee Air Nostrum, is to get a larger 177-seat aircraft from June and additional summer frequencies. Air Nostrum had previously operated the route with a 90-seat aircraft.

The expanded service to Madrid will also enhance Dublin Airport’s international connectivity, as it will offer improved connections to South America, Central America and South Africa through Iberia’s main hub.

The expanded Dublin-Madrid service will operate daily in June and August and eight times per week in July. There will be flve flights per week in each direction during the winter months. Flights will leave Madrid at 15.50 daily arriving in Dublin at 17.20. The return flight will leave Dublin at 18.10 and arrive in Madrid at 21.40.

Bmi plan to increase LHR up to 7 daily flights for the summer. 5 was the most last year and n regional flights planed. Could all change with BA.

From May:
Monday:
7 flights - (3 A319, 3 A320, 1 A321)
Tuesday:
5 flights - (2 A319, 3 A320)
Wednesday:
5 flights - (3 A319, 2 A320)
Thursday:
6 flights - (2 A319. 4 A320)
Friday:
5 flights - (2 A319, 3 A320)
Saturday:
5 flights - (4 A319, 1 A320)
Sunday:
3 flights - (2 A319, 1 A320)

34 weekly in 2011, 36 in 2012 but larger aircraft was nearly always A319, EM145 in 2011.

Aircraft are varied from month to month but its mainly the above. Monday flights are very close so could be a mistake on the site. Currently 10.20 & 10.45 and 13.00, 13.40 and 14.30)

Its a large seat increase and lets hope the route is not pulled.

SK flights for 2012 changes since last post:

ARN 6/7 weekly April-June. 4 weekly July-August. 6/7 weekly September -October
CPH 13 weekly all summer, larger aircraft in May-September
OSL 4 weekly April-June. 3 weekly July-August. 4 weekly September-October.

The timings probably reflect the onward connections via lhr. But none the less much better a/c for the route rather than the barbiejets.

The times showing above would indicate no night stop in the summer

Bmi will have a nigh stop.

First flight of the day leaves LHR at 07.00 and arrives at 08.20 and the first flight from DUB leave at 07.45 and arrives LHR at 09.00. The 08.20 arrival doesn't depart again until after 10.30.

The reduction in airport charges for winter season at DUB have come into affect since 1 Feb. I thaugh it was due to be November 2012 before it happened.

Runway movement charge has being reduced for winter and charges for airlines departing on contact stands reduced but remote stands stay the same remote is Pier D.

Any reduction is to be welcomed. but may be too little to late for many carriers.

Have heard recently that Air Moldova are to operate charter flights to Chișinău. Does anyone know more?
They have also recently reopened reservations on flights to DUB via FRA.

Not surprised after demise of malev as they would have done well with traffic to moldovia. Also read that blue air adding bacu again from april twice a week.

What a load of Boxxxxxs.

LAMA? It should have won the NAMA award for biggest waste of money.

National Impact Award? The only impact it has had is on passengers pockets.

Who the hell invents these nonsensical and meaningless awards?!!!

I agree that this award is meaningless, but I am getting a little tired of the people who repeatedly suggest that T2 has made no difference to anything other than passengers pockets. The fact that the terminal cost a fortune to build is at this point irrelevant. The terminal exists, and no amount of bitching is going to change that.

As a very frequent traveller, I find it to be a much more pleasant experience than terminal one.
