Aer Lingus Fleet/ Routes Discussion Pt 2 (ALL possible routes included)

Noxegon

I've just come back from JNB. It's hard to see much of an appeal for anyone who doesn't absolutely have to go there. A representative piece that tallies with my experience: https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025-01-27-joburg-traffic-signals-down-amid-vandalism-power-and-funding-cuts/

CPT would be a much better choice, but is the market there?

I honestly don’t know is my answer to Your question, also ( and I think it’s been mentioned before ) AL don't have the equipment to fly that distance (CPT )

I flew direct to Capetown from Dublin about 20 years ago with Slattery Travel I think it was. What kind of aircraft would that have been?

Astral Nav

It was a great service, happy memories. It was an A330-200 of which AL have several.

One is currently grounded however due to CF parts issues but that is an aside.

Yes they do. See above.
