Aer Lingus summer 2012

Birmingham - 20 weekly up from 19 (Sunday morning added)

Pete

Pleasently surprised, that is a very solid schedule from EI!!

I am a little baffled by the Krakow reduction, as there would be quite alot of "Irish" tourist traffic in addition to Polish migrants on that route. However, I guess there is also alot of competition!!

Etihad claims record passenger numbers for 2011. Dublin comes in as the airlines 10th busiest route. From travelweekly.co.uk

They have more profitable routes to operate...

Aeroflot? any update or tap?

DUB had 18.8 million passengers and as usual Ryanairs PR machine was on form today saying they will contuine to cut fligths etc etc but yet they add 3 new routes from Cork and increase Milan BGY season.

Not including domestic traffic both Cork and Dublin saw increase in International traffic.

Latest News > Passenger Numbers Increased By 1% At DAA Airports In 2011

With DUB now experiencing growth again, and Aer Lingus additional plans rotations to destinations which could provide in the region of an additional 400k seats this year, an NAMA pressing ahead with the development of a site nearby the airport, does anyone think we'll see a new runway any time soon?

The problem is the financing of it. If the DAA could sort that out, I'm sure the government would be more than delighted to see it go ahead. A large infrastructure project that they aren't paying for would be a nice economic boost.

I do think that a new runway is a case of when rather than if. its interesting to see that the uk govt is really giving some thought now to a thames airport.

is it a case of a new rwy in dub being needed or sexing up rwy 10/28 exteneding reworkingetc.

Finance is a problem but a new one can't be built until 23.5 million passengers is reached. Aviation Regulator.has said this.

Not a hope. There will be very few capital projects over the next few years for obvious reasons, and there are much more important projects that deserve the money over a new runway, and with the cost of maintaining current infrastructure, it may get to the stage where no capital projects will be funded. And given that DAA debt is classed as 'junk' by most of the ratings agencies, theres no way they'll be able to source financing elsewhere to build it.

So realistically, the most the DAA can hope for is funding a few years from now for an extension to runway 28/10.

Emirates upgrading DXB to a B777 from 1 June but possibly 1 July.

Oh very good. bookings must be good. i know that inbound numbers on some flights on occassions not even in treble figures. a sad reflection. ey and ek must be the new b+i line and sealink i fear. very sad indeed.

EK need extra check in desks and bookings are very high over the next 3 months.

How are EY loads holding up are EK affecting them?


Staff shortage may cause Dublin Airport disruption | Irish Examiner

No Fire service then no flights.

If it happens it will be weeks away, as they have a registered agreement that it has to go to the (LRC) and (LC) before it goes ahead and it will take weeks and it will most lightly will be sorted out.

It's reported that Air Baltic will resume Riga-Dublin 4 times per week from 01 June.

B787 due in tonight at 2025.
FlightAware > Boeing Commercial Airplane Group #787 > 25-Jan-2012 > KRFD-EIDW Flight Tracker

Bookable operating on Mon,Tues,Thur,Sat with a B733.

Etihad title will be moved and some additional titles added..

It was due on Tuesday at 17.15 from Hahn but will now arrive tomorrow at around the same time.

Air baltic only operating for a few months over the summer. finnishes sep i think

787 Dublin
 

Wow I found a great video of the 787 departure from Friday :)

Another one bits the dust. Not so long ago nearly every spanish charter flight to spain was on jk.

sad news for those involved in spanair.

I see the Transport Minister Leo Varadkar has said charges at Dublin are frozen and they are open to do deals with airlines but I don't think they will be able to do one which Ryanair would be happy with.

Aer Lingus increasing ABZ,GLA, adding BOH and reducing BRS.

Wot other possible deals could they offer!!!

Seriously? :ooh:

For one they could stop taxing tourists just to visit this country. Then, they could reduce airport charges which are currently stifling growth, not just for Ryanair, but for several airlines operating out of DUB.

The DAA should follow the Spanish model and either axe or significantly discount airport charges for airlines that maintain passenger numbers going through Irish airports at say 2006 levels. This would give airlines an incentive to invest in Irish airports which will drive growth at the airports and increase profits (scale of economy, ancillary revenue and so on), and deliver for the airlines in the form of discounted charges.

But thats assuming we had people in government who had a clue...:rolleyes:

If you search on the daa website you can download all the deals that the daa offer airlines already....hence my comment!!

Exactly. They seem to take the same model to employment - reduce incentives, reduce capital spending and increase taxes, they then rant on about how they're all for cutting unemployment (when the rate of 14% remains stagnant/increasing). Lets face it, this country is run by buffoons who aren't in Government for the national interest they're there for the pay, benefits and the ''doss''. There's little hope of change either a party opposite which managed the near obliteration of the Irish economy, a party who only 10 years ago carried out murders to justify there stance as ''Political Prisoners'', and a Party who seem to think there's an easy way which there is not. What the Government needs to understand is you DO NOT tax a sector of the economy which is growing, creating employment. This is what they done to the aviation sector with far bigger reactions by airlines to the existing Global Downturn, They are now doing it to the Internet/eCommerce sector passing ACTA to please our European counter parts, i would hold your breath if your expecting reform and change of many sectors of the Irish economy for the next few years, because they don't have the balls to do anything for the people they represent.

And I'm saying to you, the DAA and the government could be doing a lot more.

In a recessionary economy don't people cut down on travel and save instead? I'd imagine the cost of flying is one of the smallest elements of the total cost of going away for a short holiday so even if the DAA actually paid people to fly it probably wouldn't make any difference to the numbers that travel through their airports.

Government direct taxes not to blame
 

I'm with sober lark,

The direct Gov tax is bog all to do with airline growth. Airport charges may have a bigger effect, since they'll be directly in the airfare and are perhaps more substantial.

Airlines will make more from selling ancillary services than the gov tax also. So should the airlines sell their hotels etc nett in order to enhance the tourist proposition (I say this with a smile).

Overall, the European economy is under pressure. If you plan a trip, it'll go something like €200.00 airfare, €100 a night hotel, €50.00 a night dinner, €20.00 visiting attractions etc etc etc. It's the overall spend. And it's widely shown people are opting for 1 holiday versus 2 holidays.
Perhaps the simplest route is to try and develope new markets and tap clients we're not seeing.
