They did in fact announce... just not what people were expecting.

Ryanair passengers will soon be able to watch films during flights....for free - Independent.ie

Of course, you can already fly from Belfast International (that little regional airport up north) to Reykjavik with Easyjet!

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

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.
History

Just, look how you've grown

Michael o, Leary in the paper today saying Dublin is a small market referring to starting routes to the US with prices from 80- to 95 euro , Dublin small market ? he's got to be joking right ?

Greater Dublin area population of around 1.5m. That is small.

You can argue that there is only one Airport in dublin, and that it soaks up traffic from the north and the uk.

Over 1.8 million and take in another 45-60 minutes and it's well over 2.5 million. This is just FR trying to grab headlines yet again. In reality MOL or FR haven't a clue how T/A will work as they haven't looked at it in detail. 10 euro one day, 90 euro another day.

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.

10.15-08.05-Halifax-Dublin-20.55-23.30-Dublin-Paris

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?

TS have being scheduled a good while. They are most likely feelong the pinch more than all carriers on YYZ. Their brand wouldn't be as well known as AC and EI.

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!!
