Los Angeles the route is extremely successful and is being upgauged from A332 to A333 EI-LAX the aircraft is the oldest A330 still in the fleet (1999 build) and there is talk it may be scrapped as 2 brand new HGW A333s are being delivered over the winter and one may just be used as a replacement. |
Apologies for the confusion was worried there for a second lol how about Seattle ? going there next month, heard it might even be going double daily next year !!
|
I'd be very surprised to see Seattle go double daily any time soon, the most likely west coast destination to go double daily would be San Francisco.
Seattle does appear to be doing very well though, it'll probably see the A333 more often now that additional HGW versions are on the way. |

I’d love to see what the airline projected for the route, as I was skeptical of this one from the moment of the announcement. There is a Dublin-China market, but it’s to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing, not Shenzhen. |
Norwegian to end t/a services from Ireland
https://www.rte.ie/news/business/201...lantic-routes/
Sad news; the Max issues are of course a key factor and the cost of hiring the Evelop A330 must be fairly high (even though it is more often than not full), but even if the Maxes were still operating as normal, would the service have been sustainable? |
Well that really didn't last long.
|
Is it just Irish bases that have been affected? Maybe I’m wrong but I thought that they gained their Irish AOC by operating flights from Ireland. Does this mean they lose that AOC also?

If Hainan EDI rumoured to have a seasonal return S20 will it still be a bolt on DUB triangle route to bolster prospects? Lets hope all the chopping and changing, late opening of reservations and previous dire loads mean this isn't a dead 'Peking' Duck . |
...oh surely that is not getting dredged up again? What were the average loads? |

No idea about it returning, I think they either need to commit to a direct service or don't bother. |

Passenger numbers have dropped by 11.3% across the network since the HK protests kicked off. HK airport was shut on a few occasions by the protesters. I know a couple who flew DUB-HKG a couple of weeks ago who needed a police escorted bus to get out of the terminal, bus was attacked etc. I also know several people who decided not to book CX as they usually do for trips to Oz, NZ etc over the next few months. Prior to the recent unrest they were always chirping about how well the route was performing and were hinting at a daily service. I wouldn’t be too worried long term. |

The whole group is on the precipice once again.
On more positive news I see the AA CEO said he expects Dublin to be their major focus city in Europe for expansion for the foreseeable. I've read DFW is supposed to be going daily, but outside of that realistically what new routes are there other than possibly going year round on CLT and ORD? Their XLRs don't start arriving til 2023 which might halt their retreat in JFK. Maybe they could take over MIA from EI once the JV is finalised due their South American connections. Other than that, I know the EI LAX flights are rammed in summer but realistically they'd need a 787 or 777 to launch that and that's a huge amount of extra capacity to fill. What other hubs of theirs aren't connected? RDU is a bit left field... |
PHX is a hub for them and unserved from Dublin. It would need to pick up significant connecting traffic to be viable.
There's always background chatter about La Guardia dropping its perimeter rule. With pre-clearance, Dublin would be the only European hub that could operate flights. The short runway probably precludes it though. I'd note that it's very similar in length to Cork's runway and Norwegian said that was too short for 737Max flights to SWF, so other than the fact the short runway is on the western side of the Atlantic, it's not easy to see what would make it more suitable for Transatlantic flights. Anyway, the last time that background chatter turned into something more serious, it didn't happen, so there's no reason to expect anything imminent. |
Qatar A350
Qatar Airways are scheduled to bring the Airbus A350-900 to Dublin on the 29th & 30th (Dep 1 October) of September, is this due to a hike in demand on these dates? |

Westjet Toronto would be great along with Shanghai. I’m guessing the AUH decrease is the extra 4 weekly 787 service that operate this summer? Looks like Arkia Couldn’t handle the EL AL competition Edit: can you provide a source? |
Hasn't the Juneyao already announce that the Helsinki service will extend to MAN? How many of these applications are aspirational/tactical rather than concrete?

Runway usage
Just a question from a regular user here who finds many an evening has been spent in a lengthy queue waiting for departure on 28.
Why is 34 also not used for departures at busy times, especially for those flights which turn right downwind on departure anyway. And what would be the reaction if a crew were to request it ? |

Dual operation taxi routes had to be changed after an incident a few years ago and made things worse. Shame the times are so close to the existing EI service. Neither will allow a full day of work in the Bay Area in either direction [img]images/smilies/sowee.gif[/img] |
