Is it possible that one of the A330's to arrive next year will operate on the SNN-BOS run following the B767 hire-in this year? That would allow for it to run for a longer period than the 12 weeks it did this summer.

I'd say it's unlikely. The A330 for next year would really be a year round or at least MAR-JAN job. The A330 is alot of plane on a daily service outside of June/July/August. They also want to push and expand out of Dublin.

A $5 million subsidy for a T/A route is been offered and quiet a few companies also have offices here as well. It could be a good niche route and onword connections at DUB will be a big benefit.
DL flew a B752 to AMS for many years so there is a market and EI have lower costs which could benefit.
In other a news a new premium check in area for J class has opened at T2, desks 29/30 are closed off from the rest. Passengers have their own private queue!

The $5 Million subsidy offered to Aer Lingus might be of interest.
A service was first talked about late last year, the subsidy was said to be set aside by the local government this spring and now it's come back and looking more and more likely to happen!

Unless that potential US destination has onward connectivity with JetBlue I would discount it.....?? Or indeed American, giving the alliance on the North Atlantic with IAG..

I have heard some whispers that there could be another little surprise in store at the announcement but can't verify it so won't speculate but it relates to the US.

Just going to say...read back thru all the nonsense posted, it's not even rumour, just sh1te talk about Al giving up and vueling replacing them on"bucket and spade" routes... God I hate that phrase blah blah...and what do you know...IAG. but them and what happens? Existing routes all stay! Existing routes strengthened by extra rotations on the summer routes and bigger aircraft on the Heathrow route...and a NEW ROUTE to alicante...and yes, it is a new route

Heartford could be an interesting one and successful with Europe connections if BOS-DUB-Europe is anything to go by which EI have exploited lack of US based carriers to Europe and even Euro carriers to an extent.
This year will see DUB rise from number 3 to number 2 busiest International route ex BOS over taking CDG.
Just to think 3 years ago (2012) AMS, FRA and CDG were all head and since then, EI have added over 90,000 passengers while CDG has lost over 130,000, AMS lost over 15,000, FRA lost over 250,000.
A question of when additional capacity is added to meet demand by EI.

According to Jethro's fleet listings, EI have removed one of there A319's (EI-EPS) from service. The other 3 are showing as being for disposal. Are EI gonna replace these with A320's?.
Does anyone know if the A319's going to be put in storage by the lessor or do they already have a new home for them?

They are leased, anoter will go in a few weeks. The other 2 next year. Little Red replaces 3 and they are looking for a few 321s at present. Think one of the current A321s are going as well.
IF Hartford does happen (5 million dollars and 2 years of no airport charges is certainly a tasty incentive) then it'll be a B752 route. All the rumours are that they're only getting one more of those. I wonder if they need a daily service to get the aid. 1 A330 is needed for LAX, either a 300 to release a 200 from BOS or ORD, or a 200.
The morning JFK flight was a big success by all accounts so I can't see them not running that again. Another A330 could do YYZ in the days it's not doing LAX and release that 757 for Hartford IF it wasn't daily, which I doubt for that kind of incentive. Or they would do a hire in for SNN-BOS again.
Realistically 2 A330s sound like they will be needed. 1 for YYZ to release a 757 for Hartford, and another for LAX and maybe increasing frequency on MCO.
Interesting times anyway. Wonder when the announcement will be.
