Aer Lingus Belfast/Alicante
I would be surprised to see Aer Lingus returning to Belfast Alicante for the winter. Easyjet timings are now much more savy, with evening departures at similar times as Aer Lingus last winter. Though some on different days.
The route was thin last winter, for both operators, though 320 was too big. I will be interested to see what EI come up with for the winter ex Belfast.
'Question for someone close to EI operation,or an employee in the know', do you know when the BFS winter schedule will be announced?
Thanks

EI/EIR are late with launching quite a lot of winter timetables, nothing online yet for WAT, SEN only DUB route on sale, no BHX-NOC past 27/10 despite only just being launched so its maybe not to do with base changes at Belfast but generally not being ready to commit schedule on a lot of the less major routes.

Anybody within Aerlingus or know anything about them know what the airline are going to do with there Belfast base want to book flights to London but would rather use BFS need to hurry up or may just book with Easyjet.

I doubt that EI will b very happy with the much improved BA product on the DUB-LHR route from 27 June, complimentry catering in both class all flights all day. Increaased baggage allowances, no charges for baggage or seat selection. I know that BD offered some of this but with the BA brand now i feel a price war looming!! Or EI finally intoduce C class to LHR.

This evening's EI498 (A321 EI-CPE according to flightradar)) from DUB to Faro has diverted to Lisbon. Said to be due to cabin pressure problems but no rapid descent. Pax are to be coached to Faro.

With all this code sharing with BA and sharing of other things can we see EI become part of the one world group or even more part of IAG?

Hope so! What does EI bring to the alliance? Apart from other considerations, USA pre-clearance at DUB, SNN. EI were members before, their return is long overdue.

Who can say, possibly. Alternatively IAG may buy enough of a stake in EI for a say on the board(?).

They went loco, and that's pretty much where they still are.
