While they all market Iceland as being to Reykjavik, all of the flight use Keflavik airport a 50 minute coach journey away. A really superb little airport, it has to be said. And while Reykjavik does have an airport, which can handle up to 757, it is just for short and domestic flights, Dash8's and F50 a plenty.
In Keflavik, the airport operation in impressive, Icelandair time their US and European flights to coincide in each direction to enable connections between both continents, hence for e.g. Around 4-5 pm a big way of 757's are all leaving simultaneously and the airport is buzzing ...

I notice Knock airport launched a new one off transatlantic pilgrimage flight in august with EI - looks like its displacing one of the JFK rotations on that particular day from dublin (august 8th) a strange one!
Happy 75th Birthday Dublin Airport
History
Just, look how you've grown

Dublin Airport officially opened at 9:00am on January 19, 1940. It was a cold Friday morning when the inaugural flight - an Aer Lingus Lockheed 14 bound for Liverpool - departed from Collinstown Airport, as it was then known.

Greater Dublin area population of around 1.5m. That is small.
One thing is for sure he won't be able to resist not competing with EI!

Europe Airpost will begin Halifax this summer operating weekly. They will also carry passengers between Dublin and Paris. Looks like a transfer of GLA service.

Are Transat sticking to 4 x weekly? If so that's still 22 direct weekly flights to YYZ, 4 flights on at least 1 day a week. Combine that with YYT and now YHZ, Canada seems reasonably well served in Dublin. Direct flights to YUL are a possibility in future but that could be it. Is the market in danger of becoming saturated I wonder?
Plus they had the route to themselves for a few years. Pulling the weekly Shannon A330 stopover would indicate they are feeling it alright. If I were involved in the running of BFS I'd be banging their door down!!
