DUBLIN - 2

[stab3.5up]

Bad but not a disaster....yet.

[PPRuNeUser0176]

What happened to Jet 2 flight today. The arrival has being delayed until 11.50 tomorrow and the departure departed 90 mins late. I know it does a W from EDI.

[Sober Lark]

Eliminating flights because of higher fuel costs and other recession related cuts leads to higher fare imposition on the sector of the market who can afford to fly so we can't really say the airlines miss the ones who can't afford to fly. The DAA in DUB perhaps but not FR and EI.

[EI-A330-300]

Its being bad day all round for charter passengers with Jet 2 inbound scheduled to be 11h30m delayed and Air Contractors flights scheduled to be 18h delayed and then there is Air Contractors schedule tomorrow will have a 9h delay.

Oh dont u just love charter flights. oh i just cant wait...roll on the summer season. oh hiw ive missed the mayhem, the techness of clapped out airliners, crews out of hours, offloading pissed up passengers. oh joys were else could you work n have such a jolly time!!!!!

[Jamie2k9]

Air Contractors had to wait for a replacement Europe Airpost aircraft to arrive from France at 17.42 but the crew were out of hours by that stage. As for Jet 2 most lightly a major tech fault as they had to position in an aircraft to operate the departure from DUB.

Delta Summer 2012 operations

A330-200 to operarte ATL from 16 May - 27 October. Last year it was A330-300 from 1 June-30 August 2011. ATL will see improved flight times for connections. A330-200 has 59 less seats than the A330-300 but the the B767 on JFK will increase DL overall seats from DUB this summer.

ATL-DUB 18.40-07.25
DUB-ATL 09.25-11.15

DUB-JFK 11.35-13.15
JFK-DUB 20.20-08.15

The arrival time may change for JFK as both routes are doing an aircraft swap but with the A330 that can't happen from May.

Havn't done the exact figues but there will be an increase in seats for April,May,September,October but a slight reduction for June,July,August.

Delta where very late last year in announcing the extra jfk so it is still possible that this may happen again this summer.

[stab3.5up]

Surely something interesting must be happening in dublin???

[Stevek]

Not really. Dylan Bradshaw is the first retail victim in T2 due to continuing traffic decline.

[stab3.5up]

Oh not good

[Sober Lark]

That's awful news. Just how many million passengers does a successful hair dresser need to survive thesdays?

[racedo]

Guess the Tumbleweed was messing up the Perms...............

[Tom the Tenor]

Restore Cork - Dublin asap and everything will return to normal!

FR should start Dublin Abjuja - think how much they would make in bags alone! EI start DUB - Buenos Aires.

Jim'll fix it!

[stab3.5up]

I thought that the shops in t2 got some kinda deal on start up costs etc.

[EI-A330-300]

Our airports to scrap ban on liquids next year - News, Frontpage - Herald.ie

[racedo]

Not sure who it will benefit if liquids allowed as really after 5 1/2 years do you really want the hassle of carrying all that extra stuff on board that................green lime Ouzo sounds great in the shop but no way will anybody drink it at home.

[stab3.5up]

Or all the yuckie new baileys flavours!!

What going to happen with the 12 aircraft parked in DUB from at least 4 carriers that have ceased operation across Europe over the last while. Everytime I am there the number of stored aircraft keeps growing.

Spanair

Rumour is that SAS might have the Spanair A320's per below

EUROPEAN AIRLINE SCENE - WEEK ENDING 03-03-12 - European Airline Scene - AirSpace blogs - Aviation & Aerospace Blogs - FlightGlobal

I believe SAS have ordered A320's or said they were getting some but not sure if these were to be new or second-hand for the CPH base.
