Think it was along the line of 4 EI A330s, 1 DL and EY ending up at SNN, CO choosing BFS, and AA, US and the other DL going to MAN.

Dublin reported as closed for a while -
All flights to and from Dublin were suspended on Friday after heavy snowfall on New Year's Eve which also disrupted bus and rail services in the Irish capital. "We hope to resume operations at 1030 (GMT)," a spokeswoman for Dublin Airport said. Dublin is the home base of Ryanair, Europe's biggest low-cost airline, and former state carrier Aer Lingus. The airport's website showed some flights due as late as 1500 GMT have been cancelled. Dublin Bus said on its website that no local bus services would be operating on Friday until further notice due to the harsh weather and Irish Rail also reported disruptions at major stations. |
Any new airline (+ a/c) rumours for DUB?
Who will be taking over the GSM route? |
As far as i'm aware there will be a new charter airline in DUB this year.
I dont think the GSM routes will be taken over. If Aer lingus were smart they' would operate a summer only Toronto or Vancouver. But as we all know they seem to prefer to park their A/C for months on end. |
new charter airline
Yup new charter airline , Air Contractors operating B737s to Turkey
|
yup that's right with one Aeropost 737.
|
some real potential for an airline to offer low cost, regular flights to Greek islands, Turkey and Med in general
Anyone know if Dub is up and going again??? |
Opened around the 20.15 mark.
|
Ok thanks!

Well chaps, any news of any news? Other than the old chestnuts of EI and FR, Yawn yawn snooze-a-thon!!
Nice piece over the weekend on how many airlines not using or not wanting to commit to the new T2. |
BMI reducing DUB-LHR capacity
According to RTÉ, cutting to 1 AC on the route with the removal of the DUB base.
RTÉ Business: BMI to close Dublin cabin crew base JAS |
no big shock there with the chopping and changing of times, at least its not til march, in avaition terms thats a lifetime away!! Could all change again and again before then!!
|
BMI's reductions will be music to the ears of all competitors on the Dublin - London market, but especially Aer Lingus.
|
And an absolute shame to the rest of us!
|
What is the option? Do nothing and continue to squeeze 20-23 million people into the existing cramped terminal with inferior facilities? Someone said the surplus pax should be put in sheds (minus the sheep dipping facility of course). Every country has a long term infrastructure plan and the time has come for a second terminal that isn't a shed and that has what one expects in modern travel.
|
Increase passenger charges by a third!?? jeez.

A classic case of bad planning/ bad timing. Up to 2008 traffic at DUB was growing at 10% (?) per annum and the DAA was desperately trying to keep up by adding to capacity in a series of ad hoc measures. Then when they go for a proper new facility (T2 - which they should have done ten years ago) lo and behold, traffic starts to drop by more than 10% a year.
So they are left high and dry: a bit like many other sectors of the Irish economy. I wouldn't mind if they scrapped or mothballed Pier A and D. Save everyone a huge trudge in the case of pier D. |
Pier 'A' is pretty close to the image of a low cost facility as you can get without it being a shed. Why waste mothballs?
|
I recall reading somewhere (possibly a version of a DAA plan) that once T1/Pier E opens, that Pier B will be closed. There appears to be structural issues with the area that would require extensive works.
The plan, drawn up when the economy was growing, was to demolish the current B gates and build a straight out pier in its place, pretty much parallel to the new pier. Once that was done, the same fate would befall the end of Pier A. But with Ireland now returning to a more familiar economic pattern that seems unlikely. JAS |
Pier 'A' is pretty close to the image of a low cost facility as you can get without it being a shed. Why waste mothballs? |
