:D :D :D :D :D
spot on.

Re: WATERFORD Airport
 

Well Air Wales have offically announced the route but still nothing from the Airport itself. Intresting times ahead.

Re: WATERFORD Airport
 

posts such as this makes me glad I'm out of the 6G equation.

Well if an airline wants to fly a route then their is nothing an airport can do as long as there are no legal restrictions..ie political..like the shannon stopover. The airline may not receive any marketing support or start up discounts which is the norm at alot of airports. But as long as it pays all the published fees then for an airport to try stop the route would be discrimination. It would have to be a bloody good route for an airline to take that path but maybe Air Wales know more than we do about its potential...personally i think its a winner..a 48 seater twice a week between two lesiure destinations during the summer...cant go wrong..or can it?!!

Luton will reduce from 2 fights daily to 1 a day for 4 days and 2 a day for 3 days, to allow for new routes yet to be announced from Luton.

After the big "euromanx" announcement last year that came to nothing everyone is staying quiet for a change.

Looks like the end of the month is realistic for some news.

Waterford New routes
 

Hi all,
I read in the most recent Irish Air Letter that there are to be 7 new routes in 2007 from Waterford. It stated that negotiation were at an advanced stage and they would be confirmed soon.

It stated that that Prague, Malaga & Faro would have service with Jet Aircraft which would most likely be 146s, it also said of the remaining new routes some would be to the UK.

IF this is for real I think it has to be Flybe. To offer this range of routes I think it most likely has to be a UK/Irish airline ,hence flybe comes to mind.

Assuming this happens, I would put my money on BHX, SOU, BHD & JER. Perhaps Aer Arann will do the flights to JER. The reason I say BHX, SOU, & BHD is with reference to Flybe new routes from Galway.

What does anyone else think or has anyone heard anything?

My guess an Irish airline to Coventry.

Centre cities

anymore news on a carrier?? was hoping it would be flybe or atleast any airline that offers id90

Its not FlyBe, any new UK routes will be operated by Aer Arann with all the other routes to be operated by a new carrier.

Regards

The Waterford Chamber of Commerce seem to know all about this new airline...

Aer Arann
 

Aer Arann are launching a base at WAT from early january.

Better timings on the WAT - LTN route are expected.

New UK routes are also set to be launched.

Announcement due later in December.

All Irish regional airports have applied for funding under transport 21.

Waterford has applied for a jet runway, ramp extension and terminal extension. The results should be announced in the next two weeks.

If the funding for the runway is approved it is expected to be completed by should be completed during 2009. Terminal work would start straigh away.

Waterford

Waterford recieved 27.5 million euro under the Transport 21 Scheme, the construction is to start immediatly, with the new road to the airport linking up to the outer ring road to cork and dubin, things may be heading the airports way, they plan to extend the current 1433 x 35?m runway into a 1850m X 45m runway, with extra parking space for aircraft, and of course a terminal extension.

fantastic new !!! hopefully this will bring the dawn of staff travel to wat finally

Summer Services
 

The BAe146 service has finally been announced by Waterford Airport. The services will be flown by Nordic Airways according to Slattery Travel who are looking after the booking of seats and package holidays. www.slatterys.com

From June 22nd there will be twice weekly flights to Malaga, Faro & Bordeaux until the end of September where the destinations will change for the winter period.

The same services will also be flown from Galway.

Hmmm... There is no BAe 146 operator called Nordic (see list here). There is an airline called FlyNordic, but they fly MD-80s.
The Slattery's website also shows "Nordic" operating from Galway to the same destinations, so presumably there would be some kind of W pattern between the two airports?
