daa and EI to host a UK roadshow in 9 cities over the next two months to promote transit traffic.
Cities confirmed so far are Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Bristol (tomorrow), Cardiff and London. Never noticed the DUB HUB system to guide passenger to departure gate. Good idea along with FR24 on the app. http://www.dublinairport.com/gns/at-...gers_Told.aspx |
Just back to Air Canada, frequency increases begin from April through to September. Just under 60,000 additional seats or 77% each direction.
Air Canada rouge Boosts Dublin Frequencies for summer 2015 :: Routesonline |
I find it rather unusual that Dublin will have 29 (11 Air Canada, 7 Aer Lingus, 7 West Jet, 3 Air Transat, 1 Europe Airporst) weekly flights to Canada during the summer, yet the rest of Ireland (NI Inc) does not have one.

I find it rather unusual that Dublin will have 29 ... weekly flights to Canada during the summer, yet the rest of Ireland (NI Inc) does not have one But the new entrant airlines don't dare break from the hub, because that's where the passenger catchment is. But the catchment is only there because the airlines make it a hub... |
Aer Lingus back to LA is the rumour for this summer. Currently in the process of sourcing another airframe.
|
Well they need to hurry up and launch it
|
Does anyone know how many people fly between Dublin and GB each year?
Must be massive. |

Thanks...and wow.
So around 40% of all Dublin's passengers are ferrying between there and GB. That's some market. Like to think I've contributed my share too over the years :ok: |
I can't say I'd choose an A330 to LA over a Dreamliner...
|
9 abrest 30" pitch in Economy on the BA 787. 32" 8 abrest on the EI 330. Broadly similar IFE provision, similar catering in Y, singnificantly better in J. No backwards seats and 80% direct Isle acces.
I don't think there is an objective measure by which the 787 is a better experience than the A330. |
I assume that was based on an Aer Lingus A330 vs an Ethiopian 787, I doubt the latter's seat pitch is as rubbish as what BA offer although the seat width argument remains. Aer Lingus are far better known so Ethiopian are in Ireland/Europe will have to offer some good fares and advertising to draw customers away if Aer Lingus do start LAX this summer.
|
I'll take the lower cabin altitude thanks.

I'll take the lower cabin altitude thanks. The A330 cabin can go as high as 8,000 ft but the pressurisation controller normally reserves that for shorter flights. |
How many seats are actually available on the ET DUB LAX for sale? Very few I would suspect so up against EI they may not actually need to sell that many seats to make it work for them were as EI are selling an entire plane if you follow my drift so to speak. I also think the air freight market to n from Ethiopia for Ireland must be massive potential.

LAX
Is it not a bit late for EI to be announcing LAX for the summer???

A decision will be made by June on a rail link. A number options were conaidered and being looked at. The following are front runners.
The DART spur between Howth-Airport/Swords with a 15 minute frequency to the city and routes such as Cork and Belfast running while the new cross city tram (opening) 2017 (Green Line) would be extended from Broombrdge and operate under ground to the airport to allow high speed. If you ask me both will go ahead as the whole city and commuter belts would have acces and the DART will only cost 300 million. Basically Belfast-Rosslare would be connected. |

IMHO, just like their semi-state brethren in the DAA, the CIÉ group of company managers (Dublin Bus, Irish Rail & Bus Éireann) all show a stunning lack of imagination with regard to maximising the national economic & social infrastructure they're entrusted with. JAS |
That tunnel cannont be used currently bexause there is no capacity available until after 2016 when an additional 8 services per hour operate once works are done.
BTW Belfast-Rosslare wouldn't use that tunnel anyway as they operate out of Connolly! Very limited with only two tracks between Connolly and GCD. |
