Will that be on all flights, Edinburgh included?

Shenzhen
I agree - on the face this appears to be an odd route.
I have just returned from a trip to that very city: it is extremely prosperous with a strong propensity for outbound travel, is growing and developing very quickly and is the Chinese version of 'Silicon Valley'. With a new fast train link to HK, you can be in Kowloon in around 20 minutes from Shenzhen. It could then have potential but.....you don't need a Chinese visa to land into HK whereas you do for Shenzhen (even if you are then going straight to HK on the train) and onward flight connections from Shenzhen are fairly limited apart from domestic routes, we all know that you can get virtually anywhere from HK! Shenzhen Airport is well designed and I found a breeze to get through, even Immigration, perhaps I was lucky! But it is still an oddball route. However, I can highly recommend Shenzhen for a visit though (as part of a trip to China) - great food, cheap 5 star hotels and a fair bit to see and do in the vicinity. Climate is very nice - it was 22 degrees when I was there before Christmas! Whether all this is enough for this to be a sustainable routes, let's see, but does it have potential as an alternative entry point to China?? |

Can any loads be extrapolated from the UK CAA figures for the Hainan PEK route? |
You can pull figures from June to September from the CSO
https://www.cso.ie/px/pxeirestat/Sta...01&PLanguage=0 However, it's not clear to me how they treat the passengers on the flights that stop in EDI. If they are excluded, the figures look quite good. If they aren't, they are very ugly. |
Anyone hear the figures for January?

Aer Lingus cancel YUL until 2020 and reduce BDL, MSP, PHL (SNN-JFK) in July due to A321 delivery delays. |

Ludicrous Shannon is being affected by this a321 issue. Shannon wasn’t due to receive any a321s in the short term, yet again dead legs to Dublin. Can’t see how this is in any way viable yet it continues to happen. |
Quiet a busy Feb with over 2 million up 9%
Europe 1m up 12% UK 765k up 4% N American 175k up 15% Other Int 62k up 2% - quiet a lot of capacity additions/reductions verses 2018. Domestic 7k down 16% https://www.dublinairport.com/latest...dublin-airport Norwegian B789 - Operating SWF (PVD pax bused) until 30 April. Current schedules from 1 May have 3 instead of 4 aircraft planned with SWF reduced from 14 to 10 weekly, while YHW delayed until 1 May and reduced from 7 to 4 weekly. All bookings are essentially suspended for the summer unless you think €1200-14000 is good value for a return trip until they know whats happening. Aer Lingus A321 delays have resulted in approx 50,000 seats removed for S19. |
Hearing whispers one of the TATL carriers are mulling over a new service and its not Aer Lingus.

Or maybe a certain other US carrier big at JFK who will make an announcement on April 10th, though I think that will concern a London route more than Dublin...
|
Its an existing carrier so not JetBlue and the route might be already served which means it might not happen.... |
I presume Air Canada would only look to route to one of their hubs, but they have service to three of them and Calgary would seem a stretch, considering WestJet already serve it and it's not the best location for connections.
WestJet themselves could perhaps see potential in Edmonton or Winnipeg, but as an airline that has 10% of its fleet as 737Maxs, I'd be surprised to see any immediate expansion. Then of the three bis US carriers, Delta to Detroit, United to Houston or American to Phoenix could all make some kind of sense. |
Interesting talk of a new TATL route & Air Canada mentioned. There was some sort of private event in the lighthouse cinema on Wednesday night that involved Air Canada. |
Is Atlanta or SLC served?

Cardiff route/Flybe
What are the implications for the Dublin/Cardiff route as a result of Flybe's closing of the base?
It seems while they will close the base, they must fly to Cardiff from other bases. Dublin has an early morning flight, and feeds transatlantic connections. If this comes over to Stobart/Aer Lingus Regional, it is unlikely it would have an early flight owing to the lack of slots... |
