Manchester at 5pw next Summer, the median value of this summer (ran at 4pw and then 6pw). Liverpool and Bristol are 'under review' normally meaning bye bye. Aer Lingus have not loaded sun routes, however there are rumours that EI are trying to locate a number of 737-400's from ASL, one of which would be based at SNN as an additional aircraft to operate a variety of sun routes. This is all subject to aircraft availability.

Ryanair adding Ibiza, 2pw
|
Hearing Bristol and Liverpool both gone for next summer - not on sale and looks like everything else pretty much loaded - Shame as used the Bristol service couple of times was handy but loads were around 60-65% both times in peak season - in fairness timings and days of week were rubbish |
Agree paul I wonder is the Ibiza service in place of Bristol / Liverpool - I can’t see Aer Lingus pulling two routes like this - would be huge blow to lose that much capacity for 2019 and take away all the positives from recent announcements - hard to see how Knock can make Liverpool and Bristol work the last number of years and Shannon can’t |
Bristol and Liverpool seats were flogged at cheap prices to try and fill seats, not exactly profitable |
The frequency and timings at Cork for the SNN service are also poor, fares can be staggeringly cheap. How its lasted this long I don't understand. I suppose the 737-800 is just too big to be optimal for routes from Irish regional airports to UK regional airports.

I understand what you are saying considering that, assuming these are gone, the only route operated from Munster to a UK airport outside London in a 737/A320 will be Cork's Liverpool service, which has itself been scaled back in recent years.
But that opens the question of what Knock is doing right. Despite a more limited catchment and not being near Ireland's big tourist draws around Kerry and Clare, it will still have three 737 operated UK regional services. |
BRS and LPL have worked from SNN before...Poor timings coupled with how late the flights were put on sale didnt help one bit.

There’s no doubt knock benefits from a good schedule which in case of Liverpool is perfectly timed for football traffic - the west / north west of Ireland has a major diaspora element in the north of England which is s distinct advantage over Shannon ( note knock also has a daily Manchester service with Flybe) - Bristol service has a good leisure timed schedule and does well during summer season - interesting to see how does during winter would think marginal - at same time shame to see them lost at Shannon should be plenty big enough market for both airports to sustain services |
Faro &Malaga both now bookable for S19 with AL. |
That’s positive hopefully Bristol and Liverpool follow with Ryanair 👍 |

New routes were only what fell off the table with the new 5 year deal with SNN management. Same as the one in 2013 which resulted in all of those “new” routes at the time being discontinued eventually |
Good news but terrible schedule flight on Saturday night at 21:50! No chance for a weekend break even !! |
EMA 2x weekly Monday and Friday beginning 5th April |

Looks like the Helvetic to Zurich is gone for 2019. I wonder is it due to the increase on the Swiss cork-Geneva route. |
It was all agency booking, next to nobody booked the flight only.
Perhaps it had some input, but in reality it doesn't matter much. I wouldn't put much thought into why exactly it's no longer available. |
