Aer Lingus - 6
With possibly as many as 12 in the fleet next summer they may start popping up in other European locations. FCO, BCN and CDG seem to get quite a few transfers for EI.

Notice EI have started another round of events in the UK promoting US routes. They were in MAN and BHX earlier this week.
The service between DUB and Bradley International started today.

EI winter schedule
Tried to book Dub- Nice for January this evening. Looks like service dropped from Nov to late Feb.
Surprised not kept at 2/3 weekly as load factors respectable in previous winters.
Any particular reason for this?

anna.aero fly on the launch from BHX. Not sure about in bound load was sold out.
anna.aero joins in Hartford BDL?s BDL (Big Dublin Launch)
______
Loads to NCE may be good in Dec-mid Feb but yield probally isn't hence the cut back.

Some of OneWorld seem to think Nice is just a summer leisure destination, the BA service from London City is similarly ended over the winter, which inconveniences us for business traffic. There is a lot of international IT presence behind the Riviera now, and the film industry, not just the stars but myriad support services, all seem to add a good load when the services are running. There are also a significant number of international trade shows there, almost all out of season. Marseilles used to be the French commercial centre on the Mediterranean, but is slowly losing it to Nice. The number of BA services from Nice to LHR/LGW all through the winter is a bit of a clue as well.

From my first post on this thread, you might've seen my ultimate Florida destination from GLA is Fort Lauderdale. Must admit that DY's LGW/FLL service has previously aroused my passing curiosity - as did Zoom's in years gone by - but changing airlines en-route gives me caution. In the event of flight delays or cancellations, I'd prefer such to remain the airline's problem, not mine!
That's not to mention also avoiding lugging Mrs Seafire's extensive baggage around at transfer points! After deciding to bypass BA this time, we're both happy to have chosen EI. It seems win/win all the way: much enhanced EI J service over BA's WT+, increased baggage allowance, lounge access, pre-clearance into the USA (a fantastic plus!), significant fare cost-savings and finally, no Heathrow Zoo - despite having access to BA's T5 lounge there. Good choice Seafire!
Boarded the flight to MCO and was impressed all round. A very open "feel" to the cabin, excellent & spacious seating, good flight attendants, menus and big-screen IFE. Thanks guys, I'm sold, there'll definitely be no looking back to BA's WT+ product.
Now enjoying our holiday in south Florida, but will have to "hunker down" tomorrow - the locals keep saying that someone called Matthew is going to "breeze by" on Friday!

Irish Times are calling it a "suspected oil pipe malfunction". No mention of whether the plane is damaged, and Orlando is closed to flights because of the hurricane.

They have spare aircraft on Saturday and Tuesday so hire in or cancellation. Not sure how long it will be out of action but think it wont be to long.
They had a week with FNH spare but that ended on Thursday, same day this happened.
----
20 October for possible route announcement, today they announced 200 cabin crew jobs in Dublin next summer.
