Airlines at DUB being advised to tank fuel in as fuel not available due to failure at Dublin port

https://www.independent.ie/business/...-36879722.html

"Aer Lingus sister airline Level may look to start a low-cost transatlantic service from Ireland, regardless of any tie-ups with Norwegian.

IAG's Level has just been given board sign off to lift its fleet of five Airbus SE A330 jets to seven, IAG CEO Willie Walsh told the Irish Independent"

Think this is called a statement of intent designed to warn Norwegian.......

Have a feeling there will be a tie up with Norwegian and an Airline run by an Irish guy...................... doubt it will be Willie Walsh though.

racedo, I would prehaps look closer to home for the message behind the comments from Walsh....

What's going on in DUB today? Most flights delayed, some cancellations...

RWY 16 in use.

Well 16 does have its own issues, it was the multiple runway switches causing the delays. It typically takes 30-45 minutes to do a full switch.

Big taxying queues on the bravo's to the ramps. Stuck in #8 in sequence. Held up at Echo 4 now for 10 mins after town down. Anyone know the issue?

I have a feeling there could be a tie up between two airlines companies run by Irishmen to get Norwegian. In which case, Norwegian gets carved up and both Irish CEO's are happy!

Don't see it in the slightest.
Could be wrong but doubt it.

2.6 million in April up 5%
Europe up 6% with 1.4m
UK up 1% with 856k
Transatlantic up 13% 296k
Other international up 14% 79k
Domestic down 4% 8,300

Year to date up 4% (1.2m) to over 8.7m.

Lauda Motion to commence daily VIE from late October.

Very happy with this Aer lingus had this on there own, No flying to Bratislava now!! More competition and they'll lower there ridiculous fares .

Or AL will come off route after a bit of a price war and redeploy the aircraft to something more profitable then LM will increase fares. Its basic airline economics. Some routes just can't withstand multiple carriers and/or timings.

It’s with sincere regret that we must advise you that the opening of Carlisle Lake District Airport has been delayed by unforeseen circumstances. A major project to launch air services from a new airport relies not only on the airport’s infrastructure being complete but also a full complement of essential operating staff being in place. Regrettably, changing circumstances around the airport’s staffing means that this cannot be completed in time to receive scheduled flights as planned on 4 June, despite every effort made by the airport and the Stobart Group.

Stobart Group will continue to work with all stakeholders, including the Civil Aviation Authority. All parties are confident that the revised 3 September commencement date is both practical and achievable.

In the meantime, we are offering customers booked on flights the following options:
Rebook onto an alternative flight for travel from 03 September. Retrieve your booking via the Manage My Booking functionality on loganair.co.uk and select alternative flights.
A refund back to your payment card. A refund will automatically be processed if we don’t hear from you by the 18th June. Alternatively, email [email protected], and we’ll process the refund within 5-7 working days

Contact Loganair on 0344 800 2855 to discuss alternative options

Noticed Cathay into Dublin this morning.

Do we have any idea on load factors ?

Press release about a month ago said that bookings were in excess of what they had expected, particularly from mainland China, didn’t give anything specific IIRC though.

Dublin was hammered years ago before T2 came into operation and due to the big increase in the last few years it will be hammered again as while the the terminals can cope the aircraft stands and taxi ways can't and this will only get worse before the new runway and taxiways/stands are delivered....
