Yeah I guess they must deem it a leisure market, it should deliver in and outbound. Any word on the W flight from BHX? Im pressuming RE/EI will make some sort of press announcement soon regarding new routes and re-branding.

Can Aer Arann run something professional rather than savaging things. God knows why Lingus gave them a chance? All they do is canx at the drop of a hat. Embarrassing to say the least

Can't believe Aer Lingus allow these 42 fly under there flag, a paint job is not going to change these old aircraft, Arann craft are always tech and letting people down this is common....if and when Aer lingus is sold I can't see Aer Arann lasting might be fuel savers for lingus but if tech issues keep happening this will hit Aer Lingus brand.

To my knowledge RE we're not planning to refit any more a/c in their own colours but if they have that would suggest some future for the brand - indeed BYO was in blue livery before.

BYO
The rumor network says BYO will go green before the summer season.
Unlike the other recent RE aircraft, no green engines or tail markings and has Aer Lingus grey on the belly (EHH, REH & REI do not have this).

They could make a ORK-DUB route if it was run on their own metal though, where they would retain 100% of the revenue. There is clearly a lot of connecting traffic going from Cork to Heathrow to the USA that could be going via Dublin. Whatever loss in revenue they may suffer from the ORK-LHR route, would be easily outweighed by the gains they'd get on their DUB-USA routes where the real money is.

Who knows why Paul Schutz is resigning, it could well be due to the direction Aer Arann is now going by transferring all flights over to the Aer Lingus Regional franchise. Maybe his vision for the airline conflicted with that of the board, but who knows...

To think just 5 years ago there were 11 flights a day between Aer Arann and Ryanair on the Cork-Dublin route and now 0 flights. Even with the new motorway, there is still a LOT of connecting traffic from Cork that goes via London and Amsterdam that Dublin loses out on, not just transatlantic but also the extensive European network from Dublin is losing out.

Interesting article there.
Not sure what the CEO means about routes going back to Aer Lingus (mainline?) as they mature. He said that this had already happened with Edinburgh. But even looking at the schedules for August there is 1 Aer Lingus jet flight as ther has been for the last few years plus 3 Aer Lingus Regional flights. Glasgow is also up to 5 Aer Lingus Regional flights on some days.
What do you think of transferring these routes back to EI. Is the frequency not an important part of the attractiveness or otherwise of the route and how would it be for RE to lose the strongest routes. Obviously freeing up RE aircraft for early morning flights could give better connectivity to USA from other regional UK airports.
Interesting to see the CEO talk of reintroducing Leeds Bradford and East Mindlands - virtually the whole ex Aer Lingus Commuter network if they threw in Newcastle.
Have never been on the EI Regional services. Is the quality/service as good as the regular Aer Lingus flights?
