Aer Lingus Fleet/Routes Discussion

JCX BXC

The seat map for the B767-200 being leased by EI next year are available on the Aer Lingus website, the seating is 2,3,2 in economy (As was suspected) and 2,2,2 in business

There are 189 economy seats and 12 Business seats making a total of the reported 201 seats.

Anyone know whether the B767 will be repainted, partially or entirely, in the EI colours for the 6 months that its leased for?

Cityjet RJ is out with EI decals on it. It looks terrible. Small Aerlingus on forward fuselage and green shamrock placed well forward on vertical stabiliser clear of rudder.

Probably no point in painting the full thing if the livery is changing in January.

approx at 5.40min

on the announcement it was mentioned that there will be an enhanced product on short haul called aer space with the re branding, in 2019. Wonder if the Aerspace idea is finally happening then.

I would imagine there'll have to be some type of Euro-J style product if they're to join the OneWorld JV, much harder to coordinate prices without comparable products.

The A330 fleet is badly short due to the rapid growth. SEA/SFO/LAX all need a 3 person flight deck so require a senior first officer who is signed off to be in the left seat during the cruise.

Not everyone in the A320 fleet wants to fly TATL and EI isn't in the business of sending out 250 hour cadets on TATL.

But cadets wouldn't offer a solution until 2020 .

There has to be enough pilots willing to join EI, so are management just not hiring enough? Or is there another root cause?

Lax was tech in Seattle so late back..the arrival of the 757 had nothing to do with this,it's in for expected shortage of crew this weekend,I believe a 767 is coming too

Presumably for the 125 which is now 7+ hours delayed (and still on the ground).

EI125 finally rotated at 23.49 (8 hours late) operated by A332 EI-LAX.

Titan B752 G-ZAPX arrived in DUB from STN this afternoon to operate for EI.

Wonder why they bothered proceeding with hiring in, a bit pointless spending that money to have a plane load of people pissed off and who most likely could have been re accommodated through reroutes for the outbound and return at far less cost and a less substantial delay.

Although can only assume that the reason for the delay is the Titan machine going tech as it's been in Dublin since 2pm so I'm kind of answering my own question.

Is this for certain? I’ve just been told these will be going to the USA with N reg’s for storage until next year when they will return to ASL to operate for EI.

I've just heard that too.

Yeah makes sense I guess, they won’t be needed until next summer season.
Anyone know more about where they’ll operate to/from etc?

They won't be from ASL if they are getting 737s.

To be flown by ASL from ORK/SNN to release the Munster based A320s back to DUB, or something along those lines

A330 maintenance is typically focused on Nov/Jan/Feb.
EI are short on A330 crews also, so the crews need time off and EI need time to train more.
The good news is it typically means a spare A330 in Dublin which will substitute for any problems and can even appear in LHR or AMS if the weather causes issues

Karl8415

Fast question to anyone in the know,the A330 will soon come off agp for winter but why is this,I ask because the route is so incredibly popular never mind the weather there during the same period so is it down to widebodies going into heavy maintenance so remaining must pick up the slake or just not enough pax on board to justify sending a330 down
