I know Aer Lingus departures were cancellded around 4pm. I was in departures and there was very angry passengers over cancelled flights. The runway closure yeaterday couldn't be helped and the DAA wasn't expecting this to happon. I didn't mean it to become EI v FR but Ryanair could of done more to help passengers but we all know everybody wasn't going to get home no matter what any airline did.

Faire d'income
I can only presume you are talking about Ryanair? If you are your statement above is absolutely untrue. They can operate in and out of a runway with a cleared width of 30m with some extra crosswind penalty and to 30m paved runways with specific approval.
Dublin's largest operator cannot operate on runways cleared to 30m, they need 45m.
I call you back

Ryanair to cut Dublin-based aircraft in protest of airport authority's charges, tourist tax | ATW Online
You presume wrong.
If Ryanair cut the number of aircraft based there to 12 because of a tax then surely it wouldn't possibly re-route aircraft from other bases, as it would still incur the same tax?
Either they lie or Aer Lingus are the biggest operation at Dublin, simples.

Ryanair always make out the cuts to be bigger that ther are:
Summer 2010: Ryanair said only 15 a/c would be based but there was 18 a/c based.
Winter 2010: Ryanair said there would only be 12 a/c based but there are 13 a/c based. (14 a/c for a few weeks around Christmas)

The travel press seem to think that Turkey is the place this summer but i am surprised at the number of companies doing Turkey, maybe these two are in lieu of someone else as i would be surprised that a new tour operator could fill 2 aircraft themselves in the first season at least. But still bring it on, all new business is good this coming summer to make up for last years slump.

Aer Lingus have also added 3 extra direct flights to Boston insted of going via SNN.
dublindispatch have you any idea of the total passenger numbers who used the airport. I think it would be around 19.5 million but with the weather in December it should be lower. DAA haven't relased November of December numbers yet. Up until october it was 16.5 million.

Any updates in the Air India saga?
Why are people still expecting this to happen? Why would they go from direct back to a stop in Europe?
-The Pre border clearance is no use to them, as there will be no time saved, as it will take longer to decend, unload, reload, take off than it will to go direct and add to that possible hold times.
-Cost more due to an extra set of landing fees for DUB and more fuel
-There is no real traffic prospect to pick up from from DUB, BHX for example can offer 2-3 times more traffic than BUD could.
Surely now it is time this one was buried???
