They did this year as I remember it was cancelled. It was operated by Aer Lingus afaik.

(Also sorry for my horrific Subway mistake, they don't usually do charter flights)

Jamie2k9 · 07-11-2015 2:35am

There was 2 weekly to charters to Tunisia and as stated above one by Aer Lingus.

I agree, especially considering there's a travel ban on these places from Ireland atm. Wondering what they will be replaced with though, the more typical European hotspots or maybe somewhere new? Eg. Cape Verde would be nice.

Cape Verde would be a nice addition for someone like Thomson ! But probably too late to plan it for this summer ! Guess we will wait and see what they do in place of Sharm

Not at all. But it's dishonest to describe it as a "new route". I would have no problem with "new service".

Semantics, maybe, but when the same text gets copied verbatim by Dublin Airport on their site it does imply that this is a new destination that couldn't be reached from Dublin previously.

Anyway, I'm going to bow out of discussing this before I annoy a mod

I'd agree with you with respect to the airport making such an announcement, but I think that the airline is perfectly entitled to do it.

The issue I have is an airline claiming that it is launching a service between two locations, and getting widespread publicity for it, when in fact they aren't launching such a service at all, but rather offering connections at a hub, in the same way that all of the major European airlines do.

From what I have read on WOW's press release they don't even mention Dublin. From my knowledge it appears that the Irish media has misguaged route announcements, again.

So explain to me how so many Irish media outlets are claiming that the service will be from Dublin to California? They're hardly making that connection themselves.

I can't find the actual press release to Irish media anywhere online, but I really doubt that news outlets are creating this themselves.

If you recall when the Dublin-Keflavik route was launched, the WOW CEO was on Morning Ireland claiming that they were launching Dublin-Boston and Dublin-Washington flights, so they do have past form in doing this.

It just annoys me, as if there is to be fair coverage, then every time new connections are launched by other airlines, such as BA, Lufthansa, Turkish via their hubs, they should be getting similar coverage.

U.S airlines are currently announcing summer '16 new routes and changes so it'll be interesting to see if any changes come through for Dublin.

lanomist · 13-11-2015 4:17pm

Was just on the Sun Express website and looking at their Summer schedule and there is nothing about flights from Dublin to Antalya. Their booking page doesn't even give an option of flying from Dublin ðŸ˜¡

Finally! Thought this route would be launched this year to be honest. Gone from just EI on this route this summer to EI, FR and A3 for summer 2016! Like CPH it could get interesting

Loads were crap even with A319, schedule was a bit random as well

So who will go after SAS to ARN?

Air Canada Rouge 3 weekly to Vancouver,another missed trick by EI as they were seriously considering it.

Stobart's application for subsidised service between Carlisle and Dublin was successful, confirmed today by UK Government. Don't have any timelines yet but it will be a daily return service

Edit: also Carlisle to Belfast International! Strange route, doesn't really 'go' anywhere at either end. I'd be surprised if there is much origin-destination demand, but Stobart seem to think so...

Not necessarily, as EI have shown they are not afraid to go onto a route with a competitor. I'm sure there are 3/4 routes ahead of it in their list.

Dallas/Houston
Miami
Philadelphia
Seattle

Although this could change things but aircraft availability is the issue and a cautious growth strategy.

Can't wait to see how that one works out. No routes operating from Carlisle at the moment.

Anyone from Carlisle wanting to travel by air it's 1hr20 to Newcastle Airport by road , 2hr20 by rail, same to Manchester by rail. But is there pent up demand to satisfy a daily flight to Dublin and Belfast? I suppose if they are still flying to Doncaster/Sheffield airport there's hope for services to these very small airports

Its a good route for a holiday trip to the Lake District.

Manchester and Liverpool are about the same distance, but a pain to get to the Lake District from there.

Ryanair have announced increased frequency to Liverpool from Dublin for Summer 2016.

An hour and 40 mins drive between the two airports for a start, UK government is funding this one just like the new Carlisle to Dublin PSO route, separate State PSO's that they are happy to fund as they 1) provide a vital service 2) provide business to small airports

Barely if at all. Didn't impact it the last time there were two.

It takes roughly the same time to drive from CFN to LDY than it takes to drive from BFS to DUB; as an example.

Presumably so. I wonder if they'll try for an EI codeshare for some routes? I'd imagine that would nearly boost the route into profitability, although maybe that's just wishful thinking for such a small route.

David086 · 27-11-2015 9:59pm

Just noticed this on the Aer Lingus website, I assume it's some sort of connection flight or mistake? Can't seem to be able to find any flights for it either. Bahrain is visible too.

Noxegon · 27-11-2015 10:41pm

That's probably their code share with Etihad – the Abu Dhabi flight continues to Muscat.

man98 wrote: »

I could see very legitimate reasons for EI not wanting their code on an LET410 operated flight. However, its about all that could possibly guarantee the routes survival - these aren't PSOs, they're part funding for airport and navigation charges only. Airline still has the other part and full staffing, fuel and airframe costs.

American Airlines hosted trade and media in The Shelbourne hotel. David Thomas, regional director for Ireland, Britain, Middle East and Africa (pictured), said American’s B777 Dublin-Chicago route, which launches in August 2016, will be a triple class service, an indication that the airline performed well in the Irish market last year, even with additional wide-body routes. David called American the largest airline in the world based on the number of aircraft (1,527) and its 7,000 daily departures, “five times the number of flights that London Heathrow operates a day”.

I think that you'll find that it is a daily flight to Keflavik from Dublin with separate connecting flights to those destinations.

I think it's important to make that distinction.

Agreed. That would be like implying every new Delta route from JFK or Atlanta that depart a couple of hours after arrivals from Dublin are "new Dublin routes" because of their convenient connections

The key word is "VIA" and that's why Andy wrote it that way.

WOW air are also looking for an additional base outside Iceland to hub through due to Keflaviks tiny capacity and huge demand from Iceair etc. The airport can't keep pace with demand and may lose out, they are considering basing their A330's at this new base.

That will be nice the 767 is almost as venerable as the AA Flight Crew that grumpily staff it! That said I prefer the 767 to TA 757's such as AA on DUB CLT

2 of the A330's are being leased by a Irish company, i cant confirm or deny that there maybe on of those on the dublin routings

I know that - but is that any different than BA offering a flight to Johannesburg via London Heathrow?

No one would report that as BA flying from Dublin to Johannesburg via London - it's a connection via London Heathrow.
