There has been an understanding around the talks that the US would not refuse EIN permission to fly into the country from the UK.

Since then the confirmation of President Elect Biden together with his Irish heritage will hardly be a drawback in proceedings.

Then onto today & a possible NAX collapse may somersault LGW in pole position as UK originator perhaps.

If IAG's motivation is a tilt at VS using EI as a vehicle as some have suggested, then I would guess MAN is still the prefered option.

UK and other EU carriers might have a view on that.

For sure they will but just reflecting that the "talks" have been at high level.

Does anyone know where that pesky no Diversions Notam has gone ?

Hopefully the new CEO has seen it, screwed it up and said stuff that. Manchester is "open again" for all traffic..

Likely routes are ORD, JFK, BOS and MCO - further details are TBC...

With 1600 (and rising) UK pilots out of work, why would the DfT / CAA authorize these routes for IAG when it could be flown by BA using BA crews? More jobs going to foreign businesses and foreign workers when Brits are being laid off. Common travel area means that despite taking away freedom of movement, Aer Lingus could bring in their own crews and base them in the UK and yet they discriminate against Brits by insisting that they have to have the right to live and work in the EU. So in theory, if the IAG led battle against VS continues and Aer Lingus expand further in the UK, it would be more jobs for foreign nationals, brits need not apply.
This Brexit thing really wasn't very well thought out and is turning into a massive own goal.

Whilst not without credence the post regarding EIN with a four aircraft base together with destinations appears anticipatory with the word "reputedly" dropped from an article lifted from a well known airline news & analysis website yesterday.

The AN124 departed back to Hahn yesterday (12th) - it had originally diverted in from there

The slots/times/flight numbers/aircraft type are all showing the relevant airport systems. So I would say it's more than just 'anticipatory' or reputedly'. Of course, there's still the minor issue of a global pandemic to overcome first.

What about pesky things like licences and govt approvals - is there a post-Brexit air services agreement with the US yet?

Are you suggesting BA should/operate with their own fleet? If so, I'd argue that they don't have suitable aircraft for MAN to at least 2 of these suggested destinations. Narrowbodies are required.

Would be interesting to see in BA /IAG revenue systems what searches would be put through to those flights? (vs eg via LHR with BA or AA or via DUB)

I think the intention is for the flights to be direct not via DUB.
However the revenue system observation is still a fair one!

But any direct flights from MAN will be competing with the via DUB option (as well as via LHR)
