I was thinking that would be an awful lot of expansion to Paris from Munster considering the recent Air France moves in Cork, but I'm not sure that Cork and Shannon are really in competition any more. With the better road and bus connections, I'm sure most people who can't find a suitable flight from their local airport are flying from Dublin instead. If anyone is making a choice between the two, they are probably in Kerry and facing a long journey to Dublin while being roughly the same distance from Cork and Shannon. So hopefully both expansions can prosper.

These could be great connections on to EI’s JFK flight and possibly their BOS flight too if the times were readjusted. Either way it can only be a good thing for Shannon Airport.

EI have huge numbers TATL connections from North America to CDG via DUB from cities with direct flights. Price is king and EI throw in the European leg for free. Connections will make or break these routes.

A year or two ago I was flying Aer Lingus CDG-DUB. I was in row 1 and could hear the flight attendants discussing passenger numbers and numbers of connecting passengers (because we were running late). Fully half the passengers on the plane were connecting onwards in Dublin.

I’m liking the flight times for the new routes and will definitely use CDG to transit. Pity about LH but a Thursday/ Saturday didn’t work and it showed with mostly German tourists on board. A Monday/ Tuesday and Friday would have been more appealing.

Further bad news in that Loganair have no intention launching Scottish routes from Shannon. The rationale being the sectors are too long and yield too low. Volume is there, but they don't have the aircraft for the route.
