Do they? Last I heard was EI-FMJ was the last addition for a few years.

EI-FMJ & FMK were added Nov/Dec 15. FMJ is now in EIR colour scheme and FMK still in all white. Both are now ORK based.

I understand a third new AT76 EI-FM? is to join and will also head to ORK as an additional based A/C.

The new A/C have a lower PAX capacity but with improved seating (reclining!).

I think EI-REI/REH are due to retire later this year so there will be a net gain of 1 aircraft. Not sure whats happening with the 42's though...

How many do the FMx series seat?

REI and REH have both undergone heavy maintenances this winter, although that's no reason they would stay, I suppose. I haven't been on either in many years (thankfully!) are they still dated and grubby inside?

The Sunday afternoon rotation has been added too between Liverpool and Dublin. However, these flights are operated by Aer Lingus Airbus A320s and not the Regional ATR's.

DUB LPL

Thank you, Ametyst. I posted here in response to the posts around a week ago which predicted the opposite of this development.

Indeed, I always use the Aer Lingus service from Liverpool to Dublin rather than Ryanair. Nothing wrong with Ryanair I just prefer to support Aer Lingus.

If they go the little rascals with the harp would probably reduce to twice daily and up the fares.

FR had planned to cut LPL-DUB from 3 to 2 daily a few days a week and once EI announced they increased to 4 daily. The same for EMA they planned to drop from 2 to 1 daily and resumed the second daily shortly after EI started.

As for EI loads I'm sure it's doing well on busy days, expect there will be some scope for EIR but surprised if there is a full transfer over. Some eye watering fares of 351.00 euro single when I was looking at a close in booking.

As for the EIR fleet it is very busy this summer, also a slight scaling back on EIR subbing lunchtime MAN/BHX on Tue/Wed etc

It's worth noting that there is now full codesharing with BA on almost (if not) all Aer Lingus Regional routes to Dublin. Will be interesting to see what impact BA's distribution network has ok route performance.

Pax numbers up!





Passenger numbers for the Aer Lingus Regional franchise are up for the 1stquarter 3.8% on the previous year. Moving into April brings another importantmilestone for the franchise as we celebrate our 5 millionth passenger thoughDublin Airport, and in May we expect to celebrate our 2 millionth passengerthrough Cork Airport. We also welcome our latest new route Cork - Newquay nextmonth, just over a year after we launched the Dublin - Newquay operation, whichwill operate twice weekly as a peak Summer operation route.
