Cityjet have said that they carried 23000 passengers on Dublin London City in May, this represents as we know a huge increase for them over last year when in May 2014 they carried almost 16000.


Hence, BA Cityflyer carried over 14000 passengers, total numbers on the route for May were 37434.


So split is Cityjet: BA; 60:40.


Thought this may be on interest to those interested in the Dublin thread...

LH will increase MUC from 2 to 6 weekly from late October after extending the route year round last winter for the first time.

Any update on the reason for AC1903 (ATH-YUL) diverting to DUB? Something to do with water system so, seems to be a tech rather than human threat.

Interesting kick-off!


Turbulence at Dublin Airport: Seven passengers on inaugural flight from Ethiopia claim asylum - Herald.ie

DUB
 

I wonder will the DAA pay out transit cash to ET as they didnt continue their journey....:=

A considerably more comfortable experience than being plucked from a raft by LE Eithne in the med I'm sure.

These pax were probably destined for DUB anyway, this is the flight that takes PAX in DUB.

They don't pay out transit cash, they have incredibility cheap transit costs which airlines pay to them.

ET will be hit with fines unless they sort this out however as no cases have been reported since the first flight they may of gotten themselves together.

Thanks to" cosy f" for alerting us to the fact that 7 passengers claimed asylum on the inaugral flight of Ethiopean to dublin on its way to JFK.I spoke to friends about this flight sometime ago and we agreed it was a godsend for bogus asylum seekers to take advantage of it.
Little did we realise it would happen on the inaugral flight!

If the Daa do not take this matter very seriously and have a serious talk with Ethiopean this breech will widen.If it happens again they should suggest reviewing the landing arrangement completely.
Let the Dublin Airport Authority know that the spotlight is now on you.

Small correction, it was on its way to LAX.

Anyone know the number of passengers on each route last year ? Wikipedia is the best I could find .

Thanks

You should try the CSO airport-pairings stats which are both more comprehensive and more authoritative.

The A350 is due next Wednesday (according to boards,ie poster) at DUB for a demonstration, unclear what the visit is for such as Aer Lingus, aircraft lessors or daa.

Apparent schedule is:
Arrive at 0900 local from Toulouse on 08th July as AIB 901.
1 hour demo flight at 1315
Depart at 15.00 local for Toulouse on 08th July as AIB 903

Looks like the visit is confirmed and it's for AerCap leasing, IDA, Airbus and Aer Lingus

Airline Route reports DL plan A333 on 5 of 7 weekly ATL flights commencing 26 May 2016.

I know they have planned the A332 before but It only opetated one season.

A380 by EK from next March, poster suggests they have a good source and EK have confirmed. Another says daa have tendered for 300 stand to be adjusted. A few other slight adjustments to be made in the coming weeks.

On the evening 22.20 departure.

Fantastic news if true , so will it be 777 and a380 ?

Wow an A380 in Dublin would be amazing! Congratulations!

Would appear so, small chance A380 could commence from start of winter in October. Guess we will find out soon but it appears it will be happening.

Anyone know how the Charlotte route is doing ? Surprise AA have been bringing an a330 in for a while now .
