You mean the 2637m incentive EIPCW? Methinks you might get the odd vodka burner or two as they love that sort of incentive.

And having lost BSL-DUB, FR have now cancelled FKB-DUB, so it'll be puddle-jumping via STN from now on for all of us in Dreieckland (Alsace/BadenWurttemburg/Switzerland).

Cant see OK coming back, they carried few passengers DUB-PRG only, you would need FR and some others to drop RIX, VNO, OTP etc for OK to make money.

Air Baltic seem to have the eastern european transfer market more or less to themselves now with the RIX flights and its arrival time into RIX means that you arrive for all the first wave departures ex RIX, including i am told ATH and TLV transfer pax.

CSA are back on the PRG route guys:ok: every Saturday from May 23rd 2010. From only! 61.13 there bound to draw some czechs on the route:)

thats a positioning flight infrom prg on a sat morning arr in dub at some go awfull time and goes back out to prg in the wee small hours of the morning on a monday subject to it not being delayed doing charter flights all weekend.

the irish times had an add for 5nte holdays to prg las summer using this, very resonableprices but awfull timings

Yes this is true, except for the schedule (every Saturday), it's not loaded yet.

EI & Terminal 2
 

News reports today suggest EI haven't decided on whether to relocate check-in to T2 when it opens in November.

Aer Lingus: 'No decision' on moving operations to T2 | BreakingNews.ie

Maybe they're just playing "hard ball" on fees, maybe they're happy to say in the old-new terminal (now T1) or maybe they just want to do the press release in their own time.

Yes it is on the booking schedule! i wouldnt have commented otherwise:=

That's exactly what's happening in my opinion. Aer Lingus have significant leverage at DUB and with CM's astute approach, they will be trying to get a 'bigger bang for the buck' so to speak.

Aer Lingus would be the optimum flagship carrier to have located in T2 also, considering the prestige attached to them.

I wonder why no significant reparations have been made to the Aer Lingus Business Class check-in desk area in the last while, or to the Gold Circle lounge either ;)

EI Premier

Hopefully Aer Lingus will re-located to T2 the last thing any1 wants is a 600m terminal laying ideal with only confirmed .... AA, CO,DL,ET,US operating to it.

Just 19 mln passengers this year?

Wow! Exciting times :ok:

From the independent this morning

Meanwhile, 550,000 fewer passengers travelled through Dublin Airport last month.

Amid the ash chaos, some 1.19 million passengers passed through Dublin Airport in April, compared with 1.74 million in the same month last year.

The country's main airports -- Dublin, Shannon and Cork -- were already down one-in-six passengers in the first three months of this year.

Some 5.1 million passengers travelled in and out of Dublin Airport in the first four months of this year, compared with 6.3 million over the same period last year.

Looks like the DAA are looking at another massive drop in numbers at Dublin again!!!!

Does anybody want to use the white elephant? I mean T2.

Does anybody want to use the white elephant? I mean T2.

Might be a little too harsh remember T2 is going to be around for the next 20/30 years it wasn't so long ago there was uproar over the cramped facilities at Dublin airport.Hopefully the passenger figures will start to improve towards the end of the year into next year.

I'm sure EI will end up using it, but will play hard ball over fees in the meantime.

As noted by EI Premier, they've made little investment in the facilities in T1 and that tells its own story. The lounge in Cork is now streets ahead of the one in Dublin, which considering the number of Gold Circle and Premier passengers in Dublin compared to Cork (no Premier whatsoever in Cork), tells its own story.

Whats with Air India?? as above there were 3 flights due to depart Cancelled ! diversions?

I think it's Dublin Airport having loaded the flights into their IT system, but since they haven't started yet they show up on the departure screens as "Cancelled"...
