It seems while they will close the base, they must fly to Cardiff from other bases. Dublin has an early morning flight, and feeds transatlantic connections. If this comes over to Stobart/Aer Lingus Regional, it is unlikely it would have an early flight owing to the lack of slots...

I can't see them carrying it on as it would require a W pattern, i'd imagine that the airport will either try and get Aer Lingus back with the Regional product or try and get Ryanair to take over the route. When Aer Lingus Regional did operate the route before it was 2 daily in the week at least with the morning arrival at 08.25 and the departure at 08.50 and the night arrival at 20.35 and departure at 21.00 whether Aer Lingus would be interested again? But Dublin did see 108,275 passengers on it in 2018.

That's a very ambiguous statement where are you looking to fly to? Don't forget Norwegian is knocked out of the equation at the moment

Any little bit of negative news and you lot are straight in here ,600 to 700 is still decent, I got a pretty good deal in september a multi round trip for 715 ,to the west coast plus a domestic flight.

Not for an economy fare.

£340 return to Newark in October, I thought pretty decent

High fares means yields will be better which is excellent news for the airlines on the route and therefore the airport

pretty sure £900 for a return TATL fare is beyond the fare.
