Great numbers again this month what we looking at for the year 31.5 ?

LH to increase FRA from 4 to 5 daily starting in October which will take total daily departures up to x10 between LH/EI/FR. MUC also gets extra capacity carried over from the summer to x13 weekly..

In 1 year LH have increased from 3 to 5 daily.

Ryanair has issued letters of protective notice to more than 300 staff as it announced plans to cut its Dublin- based fleet by 20% for the winter months.

The airline said it plans to cut its Dublin-based fleet of aircraft from 30 to around 24.

It said it has issued letters of protective notice to over 100 pilots and over 200 cabin crew employees, whose services may not be required from 28 October onwards.

The airline said the moves come on the back of the rapid growth of its Polish charter airline, Ryanair Sun, along with a downturn in bookings and airfares in Ireland.

It said this was "partly as a result of recent rolling strikes by Irish pilots, which has had a negative effect on high fare bookings and forward air fares as consumer confidence in the reliability of our Irish flight schedules has been disturbed".

Ryanair said it will be offering transfers to Poland and possibly some other bases to the Dublin-based pilots and cabin crew employees for Winter 2018 in order to minimise any redundancies.

Ryanair's COO Peter Bellew said the airline regretted the base aircraft reductions at Dublin for winter 2018.

The Kremlin’s aviation regulator, Rosaviatsia, has issued a decree granting permission for Aeroflot’s low-cost subsidiary to start flying a new direct service from Moscow to Dublin.

Pobeda, Aeroflot’s budget airline, will initially fly four times a week from the Russian capital to Dublin, according to filings published yesterday on the regulator’s website.

What is the normal change in Ryanair's fleet from Summer into Winter?

Won't be too far off the reduction announced by Ryanair today minus 6 based planes, they can just operate the flights from the other bases and not drop too many flights at the end of the day. Ryanair don't drop too many routes unless they are not making money on them.

Is it just a general open day but why would you go to EZY when you can have just a good conditions with airlines based here.

I think you'll find its opportunistic given FR's announcement, they are recruiting for crew and pilots and it includes LON and MAN positions as well as European bases. They are holding 3 days of recruitment roadshows.

Hainan is apparently reducing Dublin/Edinburgh/Beijing from 4 per week to 3 per week for the winter (the Thursday flight goes away).

Luxair have announced LUX will be upgraded from a Dash to B737 in October, just as FR start the route.

They never planned to operate 30 aircraft over winter. They will be busy now that German and Dutch has backed action and apparently most German (80%) are directly employed by them making it the situation far worse than here.

On another note, CX A350 scheduled last Saturday has yet to fly back, 5 days an counting most be costing them.

Una Due Tfc 31st Jul 2018 23:50

They had a 359 stranded in MAN for about 5 days last week due a hydraulic issue, hardly the same frame?

As regards FR, reap what you sow.

Norwegian smells blood in the air and looks like they are attempting to eat into Ryanairs dominant position across Europe. Interesting development.

Flightrider 1st Aug 2018 07:25

Is it not simply an extension of the policy that if you make a menace of yourself to enough people, one of them eventually will buy you out? They seem to be doing quite well on that front with both IAG and now Ryanair.

toledoashley 1st Aug 2018 08:39

If Ryanair hold true to their word and scale back in markets where strikes take hold, then yes there could be an opportunity for another player. If that's Norwegian - good luck to them, easyJet tried (albeit small) in Ireland and failed.

It left last night. Was towed off the runway on arrival Saturday and they flew parts to fix but issues with them as well until more arrived on yesterdays scheduled flight.

Aviation Herald have a article

There was an hydraulic issue on an A350 at MAN and an A350 at DUB, 2 different a/c and 2 completely unrelated causes.

PPRuNeUser0176 4th Aug 2018 18:21

Sounds like idle speculation but a person on social media seems to think American will add DFW-DUB/MUC in 2019. Not sure I see it but guess 3-4 weekly on the 787 could work.


ia350 10th Aug 2018 08:18

Looks like the Moscow route is back with Aeroflot starting October 28th great to see !

PPRuNeUser0176 10th Aug 2018 10:01

Daily from 28 October, didn't think there would be demand for a daily route...

Dublin Airport has opened a new €16 million facility designed specifically for passengers who are transferring from one flight to another.

Built adjacent to Pier 4 close to Terminal 2, the new transfer area will greatly enhance Dublin Airport’s ability to compete for transfer traffic between Europe and North America and improve the quality of the product available for transferring passengers.

The new building has the capacity to welcome four times more connecting passengers than currently being handled, according to Dublin Airport Managing Director Vincent Harrison.

The new three-story facility comprises airline information desks, boarding card checkpoints, immigration and customs facilities for transfer passengers to complete a one-stop flight connection process within Pier 4. It also accommodates an additional access route for passengers bussed from other areas of the airport.
Eliminates standard security again.

Origin of traffic heavily ex US according to these stats:


Dublin Airport’s top five transatlantic connecting routes are as follows:

• Chicago – Heathrow

• Boston – Heathrow

• Boston – Paris CDG

• Amsterdam – New York JFK

• Boston – Manchester

https://www.dublinairport.com/latest...nsfer-facility

PPRuNeUser0176 15th Aug 2018 10:09

July saw over 3.3 million passengers up 7%

European 1.8 million up 6%
UK 919,000 up 3%
Transatlantic 463,000 up 15%
Other Int 109,000 up 19%
Domestic 11,000 up 10%

https://www.dublinairport.com/latest...est-month-ever

With FR strike coasting around 15-20,000 seats expected UK to drop.

Last time i checked, Cathay business class was a grand (£1,000) cheaper out of DUB than MAN. Can’t be just the tax difference surely?
for the price conscious certainty worth hopping over to DUB.

J going east has always been really competitive than going west. Perhaps a combination of a relatively new route and saturation in the market. UK J tax is £156?

Worth checking a sample of dates because it could be a case of high loads on a particularly date.

JFK is still onsale on their website so it hasn't been cancelled and i'd be very surprised if AA cancelled their New York to Dublin route.

AA won't update the website until the weekend if you go by how they did it before now. DUB-JFK was never a route important to AA, it was opened because they moved a B752 and not many places they could send it to instead.

Removing it on the 27th when schedules are loaded.

Really surprised they are deploying 789 over 788, they must be confident.

Well it is the AA hub with large numbers of connections into under served West/Mid West US points and down into Central./South America

IALPA/Fórsa has written to the government stating that the planned northern runway at Dublin will limit operations as it won't be long enough.

In a letter seen by the Sunday Independent, IALPA's safety and technical director, Captain John Goss, said the length of an airport runway limited its connectivity.Capt Goss said pilots calculated the maximum possible take-off weight before each flight, but planes departing Dublin for the Far East would not be able to take off at full capacity owing to the length of the new northern runway.

Pilots just like a lot of runway in front of them, Cathay seem to do OK off the existing runway at DUB which is shorter. SQ also manage the 13 hour MAN-SIN with an A350 off 23R which is 2897m declared TORA. These services wouldn't be operating if the payloads were uneconomic. We're not flying 747 Classics and DC-8s anymore. What's the problem?
