Ryanair
 

Ryanair use T1 and all FR flights depart from Pier D.

When T2 opens Aer Lingus, EY and US carriers will move.

All must be well with T2 and Dublin airport as no news on here!!!

Some better news on the traffic front at Dublin

Almost 1.8 million passengers travelled through Dublin Airport in September, a 1% decline on the same period last year, and the airport’s best monthly performance in percentage terms since October 2008.

Passenger volumes to and from continental Europe fell by 1% with just under 960,000 passengers travelling on these routes last month. UK traffic also recorded a 1% decrease with just over 595,000 passengers travelling in September.

Transatlantic traffic to North America increased by 1% during September with almost 150,000 passengers travelling on this route sector.

Passenger numbers on domestic routes declined by 33% with just over 32,000 passengers taking domestic flights last month.

Other international passenger traffic, principally flights to the Middle East, increased by 28% to just over 25,000 during September.

Almost 14.3 million passengers have travelled through Dublin Airport so far this year, an 11% decline over the same period last year.

However, stripping out the impact of ash cloud disruption, and other one-off factors, the underlying decline in passenger numbers for the first nine months of the year was 8%.

The three months to the end of September was the strongest quarter since the summer of 2008, with passenger numbers declining by 3% during the period.

Well that all seems good but a little bit bad as well, the domestic figures are shocking and will not do the PSO any good.

I hope we see some kind of up swing over the winter period!!!

Flights now bookable and will operate on TUE, FRI and SUN.

Now I hear EL-AL of all carriers has been mentioned for DUB. Defo the market from DUB to the Red Sea resorts as SSH has got v v popular from Dub, and the Jesus Brigade no doubt would want to do there thing as well not to mention all the inbound Arkia tourists.

My god i think it mite just happen!!!!!!!

Interesting post DublinDispatch - how reliable is your source? I took a squiz on the 'Net and could see nothing. Would be an interesting one if it happened though I'd question why it would as we already have Arkia doing the TLV route seasonally along with (apparently) Israer and Jet2 and even then, they're only once-weekly.

I flew that route 2 years ago though and the yields were high so maybe they could increase the frequency a bit. Would be interesting to see what connections they'd offer too.

Hear about any more potential routes on the grapevine??

Israer didn't fly from DUB this summer and Jet2 are only operating 7 chartered flights during Sep and Oct.

Fair point Jamie but my point is that the demand may not be there for an all-year round or increased frequency service that could be on offer from El Al so would question why they are coming....not that I would turn them down or anything!!! :-)

It may be this pre clearance carrot again, but maybe Arkia is being replaced by ELAL or maybe its a spilt destination with elswere but I would think that the potential for a couple of times a week would be rather strong.

The horses mouth would be the source btw.

or maybe its a spilt destination with elswere

EL AL have also been interested in MAN since Jet2 has shown them what the market is like and the fact Jet2 keep increasing MAN.

Maybe a TLV-MAN-DUB-MAN-TLV or TLV-DUB-MAN-TLV?

Does anyone know if Etihad are looking or will be looking for Irish crew in the coming months based in Dublin?? 2 people I know said they read it somewhere but I can find nothing abt it on the internet.

Please reply if you know anything:) cheers :rolleyes:

Dublin Airport's other US carrier, American Airlines, will begin operating from T2 when it resumes its Irish services next spring.

It looks like Air Canada and Air Transit will remain in T1.

Phased Opening for Dublin Airport?s Terminal 2

Bet the DAA well pissed its nots also announcing new carriers to use the revamped c-pier.

At least it can say that traffic has stabilised if the September trend continues. Cork and Shannon continue in freefall it seems.

Star BMI stay T1? Star US & CO T2?

None of the other star carriers ie LH etc are moving to the revamped c-pier. I thimk BMI are staying put because of the lounge they have at the moment. I could be wrong but thats the story from rumour HQ

I am told that no SHP staff have been trained for it! is that the case?
