Ryanair v EI
FR have no interest in taking over EI they have an exit strategy ready to role and might just keep the longhaul planes , but as stated by MOL , they will be moved to Belgium. Of course no one believes a word MOL says , a man wose relationship with the truth is infrequent tosay the least .

No you can't so stop waffling. Given the EC's recent decision to delay the probe further into February, it's actually more likely now than ever that Ryanair will be given approval to takeover Aer Lingus
approval may be given but it dosn't mean a takeover will happen...
Given that many people are sitting on losses and not likely to recover,
option 1 - take a price 30% above existing share price or
option 2 - hold out assuming that at some day way way into the future the share price may equal what they bought it, assumming pension fund doesn't force them into bankruptcy
Only just over 20% of shares needs to be bought by Ryanair to gain control.

EU to oppose Ryanair, Aer Lingus deal - source
Mon, 5th Nov 2012 17:00
BRUSSELS, Nov 5 (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators plan to object to Ryanair's proposed takeo
ver of rival Aer Lingus because the Irish budget airline has not offered sufficient concessions, a person familiar with the matter said on Monday.
'A statement of objections is likely,' said the person, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter.
A statement of objections is a confidential document issued by the European Commission that sets out in detail the concerns it has about a proposed merger or takeover deal.
The person said the objections were likely to be sent to Ryanair in the coming week or two.
The source said the European Commission had not sought feedback from consumers or competing airlines on the concessions offered by Ryanair, indicating that it was unconvinced by the airline's arguments.

MOL not convincing ???? never

I love the last bit as above, they didnt believe a word he said and didnt have to ask anyone else for an opinion, they must have read Justice Kelly summary from Supreme Court ruling against MOL, funny how no one believes a word he says

If Aer Lingus stock was so undervalued then its stock price would be well above the €1.04 it finished at on Friday, in fact well above the €1.30 of the last bid, the market doesn't think it is................not a shock really.
Seems the market doesn't believe it either.

According to Flightglobal magazine, Aer Lingus expects a decision next week on it's bid for slots at Heathrow to operate between Edinburgh and London-Heathrow.
Below is the full article from Flightglobal's subscription service:
And here's another article from TravelWeekly: Aer Lingus expects decision soon on UK domestic service - www.travelweekly.co.uk
I'd be very surprised if there wasn't some behind-the-scenes discussions going on between Aer Lingus and BA that would allow BA to feed passengers onto it's long-haul flights from Scotland indirectly through a code share with Aer Lingus.
Either way, if Aer Lingus obtain these slots they're gonna need a long-haul partner to fill 6 flights a day. So if not BA, then maybe if Virgin Atlantic lose out to Aer Lingus we could see some form of a tie-up between the 2 carriers.
Below is the full article from Flightglobal's subscription service:
"Aer Lingus has revealed further details of its plan to launch domestic UK services from London Heathrow airport to Edinburgh in order to break British Airways' monopoly on the route.
Some 14 Heathrow slots are being relinquished by International Airlines Group, BA's parent company, as a pre-condition for its takeover of BMI. Seven of the slots have been ringfenced for Edinburgh or Aberdeen.
So far, Virgin is the only other bidder for the Edinburgh slots, though Aer Lingus remains confident that it can secure the rights to the route.
The Irish flag carrier says if it is successful then the route - its first on the UK mainland - will launch for the summer 2013 season. It plans to deploy a 174-seat Airbus A320 to link the two capital cities."

A codeshare with EI AI Israel Airlines ??? So could we see them coming to Dublin ??
Also with all these new codeshares with Air Canada, Etihad, Air Berlin, EI AI (last 2 only rumors) and EI looking to operate LHR-EDI and EI moving to BHD.
Do you think this could all be to Do with the FR takeover ??? Could All of these new codeshares/base changes make it harder for FR to try and takeover EI ??

I think the additional code shares are more to do with securing feeder traffic on EI's LHR-DUB flights. Given BA's entry onto the market, EI can no longer rely on feeder traffic from BA long-haul, and as such must secure traffic from other carriers at LHR.

Aer Lingus Strike OFF
Good to see the Aer Lingus two hours strike for next Monday called off.
Dublin, Shannon and Cork airports would have been closed if the strike went ahead.
The dispute is over a multi million shortfall in the pension pot.
