The time to build the parallel 28 was during the crash as a debt financed infrastructure project while the Portmarnock set were concurrently worried about how to fund their trophy houses never mind legal challenges. Instead Anglo was bailed out and people are posting ads on twitter for fish pedicures so I guess both moments passed!

Did it not start today though ?
Also notice FR had 3 departures from 200 gates today, a little surprised that Air Contractors and Thomson were not allocated 200 gates and let FR have 100 to themselves for first 2 hours.

AY was downgraded from a 77W to an A332 though as well.
Middle East had the same % increase last month (actual May numbers are lower than April)
I believe ET passengers are counted once and included in N American/Canada but even with that DUB-T/A traffic added over 16,000 with ET bringing around 10,000.
Off topic but now that EI is about to be sold. if EK were to reapply for US rights they would get them I suspect.

EI are bringing in B767 to snn from bos so today's snn bos is doing bos dub as an extra flight thus 4 flights, I am very impressed the way EI squeeze extra seats ex BOS , no competition helps of course !
