That's 53 departures a week which is an increase on last winter.

CAR has said that the service failures by the daa ie- 30+ minute security queues will cost the company 1.1 million this year.
CAR are also deciding on the next wave of airport charges from 2015 to 2019. They are considering introducing peak service charges as demand in the mornings is very high an there is little scope to increase capacity because of the runway.

They should send a team over to Gatwick to see how to properly run a security operation.
BTW, what has happened with those self-service Passport Arrival machines at T1 Immigration? I only ever saw them in operation once and they've been boarded up since. The Advance signs are still in place.

2 hour queues for immigration over the weekend and the response was bottles of water. Between this and the bus strike tourists are getting a wonderful first impression.

Winter 2013 / Summer 2014
Just to put it into perspective, DUB-BRS-DUB is 39x weekly in all this winter. 19x weekly with EIR, and 20x weekly with FR. Now, someone tell me that that is one hell of a lot of seats to fill even in the Summer, never mind the Winter !
The CWL schedule is also a continuation of the new, improved Summer schedule, operating 18x weekly. But next Summer, DUB-CWL-DUB is 19x weekly, whilst the BRS schedule drops to 14x weekly.

Couldn't get an answer so I contacted Quickpark.
The reason they can't pick up at Dublin T2 is because 'the DAA don't let them' and 'if they did they would impose heavy fines'. Quickpark say they moved their shelter in T1 a little closer to T2 to try and make it a little more convenient for their passengers.
Great to see such results Jamie. Every passenger pays charges which apparently the DAA use to inconvenience passengers by blocking competition.

2 hour queues at immigration happed a few times at certain times over the weekend. DUB is usually very quick to process passengers. The UK and the US are just as bad. A certain airport in the UK earlier this year took 50 minutes to process 1 flight which had less than 150 passengers and I was not at the back of the queue.
I had no problems returning on Monday evening but in Spain on Thursday it took 1 hour to get through immigration.
Is that the real reason of is it another one like DB 16 can't pick up at T2 either but drops off their.
They won't be filled and they won't all operate. FR will cut DUB-BRS.

Jamie, Dublin Bus say route 16 can drop off and pick up at both T1 and T2.
Can't get my head around it Jamie. If Quickpark bus can stop to drop off passengers at T2 why can't it pick up passengers? Can the DAA car park buses pick up at T2?

Flightfest
Afternoon all,
Just wondering if anybody knows a bit about the logistics of Flightfest. Will all of the aircraft have to depart from Dublin airport initially before flying over the city or will they be flying in "directly"?
Thanks,
Dub

Quickpark T1/T2
Whether or not Quickpark are allowed to pick up from T2, I think the current arrangement is the most practical and helps minimise delays for arriving passengers. The stop is less than 200m from both terminals so I don't see any real issue - in fact I'd say there's a chance the current pick up point is marginally closer to the entrance of T2!! And its definitely more practical than the current Dublin Airport car park bus arrangement!
