Airline Route also reported early next week, so think they can't hold off any longer at this stage.

Someone should keep a look-out for Willie Walsh checking in DUB bound PAX in LHR

Then we'll know he's on his way over to DUB to make the announcement.

More impotently who will he fly wtih BA or EI

LXFlyer

Not a new route per se, but BA flights between London City and Dublin are now carrying Aer Lingus codeshare flight numbers.

That's been the case for a couple of months now. You can buy those on aerlingus.com. Strangely enough, if you put London (All) they don't come up as an option, you have to specify London (City) explicitly.

Thats normal as airlines would prefer you to fly on their own metal before a codeshare. United.com offers you EWR-LHR-DUB before JFK-DUB with EI if you look for NYC-DUB flights.

Ah, thought it was Atlanta Hartford


Is there much of a demand for traffic between Dublin and Hartford? I know there is a fair few Irish living around that area including my uncle but would that suffice?

Well BDL markets itself as the "gateway to New England", so perhaps it is better located for some than BOS. BDL has a decent domestic network onwards. EI will be looking to offer connection onwards from DUB into the UK/Europe.
Most importantly BDL are offering (well the CT State govt actually) a $5M incentive to aitline to open an international route.

Just weeks after Scandinavians learned that they could look forward to up to eleven new long-distance routes from SAS, the company announced it was cutting nine other flights from Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo.

SAS said on Friday that its flights to Ankara and Pristina from Stockholm would be cut along with services running out of Gothenburg to Berlin and Dublin.

From Copenhagen, also a major hub for business travellers based in southern Sweden, it said routes to Moscow, Tel Aviv and Ankara would be cancelled in 2016.

Meanwhile Oslo-based passengers were told by the company that flights to Saltzburg and Pristina were being axed.

Trine Kromann-Mikkelsen, a spokesperson for SAS, told air industry website check-in.dk that its Moscow route has struggled amid Russia's currency crisis and Western sanctions over its aggressions in Ukraine.

“We have unfortunately had weak growth in Moscow which means that we can’t maintain it. We will keep Saint Petersburg from Copenhagen and we still have departures to Moscow from Stockholm,” she said.

The decision to stop flights from Tel Aviv came as a particular a surprise to Scandinavians, since the company only resumed journeys to the Israeli city in 2012 after a ten-year absence.

“Tel Aviv is an expensive route to operate in stiff competition and we don’t have a sufficient profitability to keep it. We can also see that political instability is affecting the route,” Kromann-Mikkelsen told check-in.dk.

But the news from SAS wasn’t all bad. The airline said that in addition to the new direct flights to Boston, Krakow, Reykjavik and Vienna from Copenhagen announced earlier this month, it would also add a summer route from the Danish capital to Faro in Portugal as well as one from Aarhus to Palma de Mallorca.

SAS, which is partially owned by the governments of Sweden, Denmark and Norway, has also recently introduced new routes from Stockhom to Los Angeles and Hong Kong and to Miami from Oslo and Copenhagen.

It has spent the past few years struggling in the face of growing competition from low cost airlines, including Ryanair and Oslo-based Norwegian, Europe's third-largest budget carrier.

But in September it announced its pre-tax profits were 30 percent higher this summer than in 2014 and said the firm had celebrated its best July for a decade.

Last month, Norwegian revealed it was looking to add routes between Copenhagen and São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Delhi, Mumbai, Cape Town and Durban.

that just reads like they are cutting services, not the route altogether.

Any word on the new routes announcements?

I have friends in Hartfort, CT so would be very interested in a direct flight. As would they, I am sure.

So if EI announce a DUB-LAX route would you be able to fly DUB-LAX-LAS on an EI ticket? They codeshare with some airlines in the US don't they?

steokeogh

You can fly DUB-ORD-LAS so I don't see why not

Currently they codeshare with United and offer interline tickets with Jetblue and Air Canada (ex-USA into Canada)

So you can go Ireland-JFK-LAS, DUB-ORD-LAS or DUB-SFO-LAS, and with a route to LAX then DUB-LAX-LAS (which was a popular route back in the early 00's)

Ethiopian to recommence New York flights, similar to the Toronto and Washington stops probably just a fuel stop in Dublin with no passengers embarking

Khuitlio

Interesting from CAPA, would love to see them launch Houston with fifth freedom via DUB. Good to hear they are happy with how DUB is working out as their EU hub.

New York is in line to become Ethiopian’s fourth destination in North America in Jun-2016, joining Toronto, Washington Dulles and recently launched Los Angeles. Ethiopian is also looking at Chicago and Houston, which could be launched in 2017

Ethiopian could expand Dublin hub as expansion in US continues

Ethiopian has not yet decided if it will serve its three planned new US destinations non-stop eastbound or with a stopover in both directions, which would enable it to take advantage of fifth freedom traffic. “We are now measuring the size of the traffic whether it makes sense to fly direct from or need to stop in Europe,” Mr GebreMariam said. “If the market is not big enough to begin with then we can stop both ways in Dublin.”

The new Addis Ababa-Dublin-Los Angeles flight has performed well since it was launched in Jun-2015, giving Ethiopian confidence it can succeed in other Dublin-US markets. Ethiopian achieved an average load factor on the Addis Ababa-Dublin-Los Angeles route of 75% to 80% in the summer 2015 season with a significant number of passengers embarking or disembarking in Dublin.

There are now three Ethiopian departures from Dublin within a span of less than 30m on some mornings
Ethiopian at the same time also changed the westbound stop of its Toronto and Washington flights to Dublin. There are now three Ethiopian departures from Dublin within a span of less than 30m on some mornings, a time Dublin Airport affectionately refers to as Ethiopian hour. “Dublin is becoming a very popular hub for us,” Mr GebreMariam said.

Dublin is keen for Ethiopian to further expand the hub with stopovers in both directions for its future US routes. Toronto and Washington are purely technical stops – although still good business for Dublin – and are unlikely to have eastbound stops in future as they are large enough local markets to support non-stops.

Dublin-New York would represent a different and perhaps more challenging market than Dublin-Los Angeles, which is not served non-stop by any other carrier. Aer Lingus, American, Delta and United all serve the Dublin-New York market and Ethiopian will likely not be able to partner with United on the route due to restrictions with United’s trans-Atlantic joint venture with the Lufthansa Group and Air Canada. But Dublin-New York is a much bigger local market and Ethiopian will have one year of building its brand in the Irish market by the time it launches New York.

Dublin-Chicago is served by American and Aer Lingus while Dublin-Houston currently does not have any non-stop service.
