DUBLIN - 2

DUB-PEK

EI, the price was right on the DUB-AUH-PEK but it took a day.

Price is one consideration. Journey time and convenience of schedules another.

DUB-PEK with LH is 13 hrs.
with TK it is 15 hr 10.
With EK it is 17 hr 50.

They would want to have some pretty attractive fares to take me away from LH or BA.

In passing what would the journey time be for a DUB-PEK non stop service?

Regarding PAX numbers I'm sure they could run an aircraft empty and still make money if freight loads are healthy.

Via IST, DXB and AUH is one hell of a long way round! Shortest is via HEL, then LHR. Would imagine that DUB-PEK would be no longer than 20-30 minutes longer than LHR-PEK(?).

[LAX_LHR]

Turkish are increasing IST-DUB from 10 weekly to 12 weekly in March.

2x daily except Tue/Wed which is 1 daily. B737 continues to be used.

Latest News > 1.4 Million Passengers In November At Dublin Airport

November 12 to November 13 is close 1 million ahead.

2013 should just see around 20 million passengers if the weather is kind in December, last December numbers were 1.296 million.

Any word on Thomas Cook Airlines doing Dublin-Cancun that was talked about a page or two back??

[EI-A330-300]

The new app is a big improvement with gate numbers, check in numbers, baggage belt and time to clear security all included.

[Noxegon]

Part of me wonders why they don't have the ability to buy a security fast track in the app. That seems like a quick win...

[dublinaviator]

Is there a daa app?

[ryan2000]

Dublin Halifax is a real possibility for 2014.

What happened to the rumours of Moscow, St.Petersburg, Cancun and Beijing being launched next year?

[LAX_LHR]

Cancun could still be launched. Thomas Cook/Condor have announced MAN-TAB and DUB-CUN for 2014 which are still to be put up for sale.

[EI-A330-300]

God, just think what T2 would be like if AI actually did come, looking back the daa were mad suggesting that could take all there flights in the mornings. They can't even handle current traffic, poor passengers who arrive early in the mornings know all about it.

[Cian]

I imagine EI's shorthaul ops would have stayed at T1 had Air India come in.

[Una Due Tfc]

All AI transatlantic flights are non-stop now anyways. Some were 788 but they have all gone back to 77W. I've heard 2 A320s have been earmarked to have extra fuel tanks fitted for Halifax, can anybody confirm?

[Locker10a]

2 A320s getting fitted for Halifax? Really what airline ??

[Dontgothere]

The speculation is that Aer Lingus will be doing Halifax - Dublin come summertime against WestJet's St John's service, so that is who owns (or has a lease on) the A320s concerned.
