I did say changes are possible......

That may be the case but I have also considered passenger numbers and notes on promotions.

Loads last winter.
DUB-STR
November 25.5
December 51.5
January 34.7
February 43.3

Was a little better during winter 2011/12/

DUB-VRN
November 30.6
December 35.9
January 36.5
February 50.3

Could see them possibly operating a weekly flight for ski season instead of 3 weekly for the whole winter.

BOH is just about viable at 4 weekly in March, April and most of May and for winter I can't see its being sustainable over the winter even if its reduced.

Loads on the BOH DUB route in winter averaged about 45 pax on an ATR 72 a/c with services 4 a week

Obviously its all down to yield , even with an ATR 42 operating now its still not enough , very frustrating

Anyone know what the problem was with UA944 ORD-FRA that diverted in just before 05.00. Expected departure to FRA is at 06.50 tomorrow.

There was a problem with the weather radar system on the aircraft was firstly going to go to BFS but the main runway at BFS was close for works so DUB was his 2nd airport :)

Dublin Airport Terminal 1 to get major facelift - Independent.ie

Its being long over due.

Whilst renovations are taking place it seems they are contemplating closing T1 and putting everyone into T2 then to alleviate congestion in T2 due to strikes and delays at T1, Ryanair will offer to help out by building their own T3.

Norwegian airline Flynonstop will run a new flight to Kristiansand, Norway from 28th October.

Flights will be 2 weekly on Thu and Sun.

Do you have a link to the story as nothing on there website from what I can see.

It mentions DUB in the box on the right hand side of the the flynonstop website. They are adding ALC as well.

FlyNonstop tilbyr nonstop flyvninger fra Kjevik Barcelona, Berlin, Dubrovnik, London, Nice, Palma, Paris og Parma.

Thanks for that, I was looking at English version.

The airline are starting a variety of destinations this winter. Nice scheme on their aircraft too, so wish them the best of luck.

Another day at T2 and this morning just before 11.00 a fault caused the whole check in system to crash. I missed my flight and I expect many more did. There was at least 10 rows of passengers queuing across the terminal between desks 29 and 52 when I was leaving at 12.00. Many flights were due to depart before 13.00. I was only going to London but wonder what passengers going to places less frequently served are going to get there.

Fly nonstop
 

Stopped already it seams?

As I said before all Aer Lingus Regional flights loaded with notable increases from Dublin to Bristol. London-Southend unchanged at 3x daily.

United have officially confirmed the airline is looking closely at SFO service using there B787. although nothing announced today they said it was being consodered and an ideal route for the 787. Would post a link but using IPhone.

Officals from the airline were in Dublin celebrating 15 years in Ireland and new ORD service from SNN.
So will it be EI or UA?

Here's the link:

My bet ould be with EI launching it as they've pretty much got the aircraft ready to go once the the 757's come in January.

Maybe but would the route not be more viable on the 787?

With EI and UA cost operation anything is possible.

I'd say it's viable with both, but keep in mind Aer Lingus have known that they'll likely be launching this route all year long and will have been working on securing contracts from companies to purchase a block number of seats, also Aer Lingus have the Regional feed from the UK that UA wouldn't have which could be a big deciding factor when it comes to it.
