Aer Lingus Regional

[bigjim99]

EI-FAV has just been hit by a loader in NCL. Won't be going anywhere for a while I wouldn't think as it appears to have buckled the rear loading door.

Jethro confirmed tonight that EI-BYO has indeed been written off

EI-FCZ (c/n 1159) has been pictured undergoing tests as F-WWEX

Record month for Aer Lingus Regional

Those figures make it seem all the more strange that they are coming off the DUB-SEN at the end of October in favour of Flybe/Stobart Air. As far as I can see the replacement service will not offer direct connectivity to US destinations via DUB, which I understood was one of the strengths of that particular route.

[MARKEYD]

Does anyone know if it is game over for the Bournemouth Dublin service which ends now in Sept or are they returning next year to operate a summer only route ?

I have been advise re SEN-DUB...

All SEN-DUB flights from Nov-14 will be operated under the Flybe brand.
Aer Lingus will codeshare on the morning flights and connections from SEN to USA will be live and available to book on aerlingus.com from 25-Aug.

That is excellent news.

[AerArann62W]

Great to see the airline doing well
Anyone know is there anything in the pipeline for a WAT-SEN / LTN route to return even under the flybe brand?

The end of EI-BYO

The story of EI-BYO has finally come to an end, finally came across some pictures on twitter showing it meeting it's maker.

NQY

Given the current good numbers being seen by flybe on routes into NQY, MAN, LGW & BHX and a slightly lesser extent SEN how long until either RE or BE add NQY-DUB ?

EI regional would allow onward connections via DUB including US pre clearance but if BE are going to codeshare with EI that could also be a possibility I suppose ?

[CabinCrewe]

can you really squeeze any more NQY stuff out of this ?

[Dontgothere]

Simon,

As much as I don't want to put a downer on your endless optimism, there is more chance of a NWI-DUB route, and that is saying something in view of the fact that there is now a INV-DUB route in the works with BE.

Sorry,

[brian_dromey]

Regardless, there is a good chance of new EI Regional routes this winter. Under EI marketing the route was planned at 2-3 times daily. One would assume that the EIR liveried aircraft will find new work out of the Irish airports.

[Skipness One Echo]

Anyone got the actual date when the ATC callsign changed over to "Stobart"? Seems to have been in the last month or so.

[Red Four]

3rd August, there was an Irish NOTAM about it I think.

Aberdeen

Does anybody know when flights from Aberdeen for Summer '15 will go on sale?


Thanks.

[EI-A330-300]

Probably around December.

[west lakes]

Given that Carlisle now has planning permission for various works Stobart's are suggesting two routes from there.
Carlisle - DUB & Carlisle SEN

So it is possible they may appear on the Aer Lingus system as through booking to the US via DUB has been mentioned

[Jamesair]

With them now having a successful operation from NCL to DUB, will they not be in competition with themselves?
