I reckon it's some accounting spin - maybe Pascal had some input! We did have reasonable GDP growth last year after all :eek:.

No Aer Lingus US flights from Shannon until 2022? (Clare Herald) Aer Lingus transatlantic services from Shannon Airport could remain grounded until summer 2022 while the airline’s schedule ‘remains under review’. It’s believed a document outlining the airline’s timeline for the resumption of services, circulating among company workers, states that the Shannon to New York and Boston routes will not recommence until the middle of next year. It’s understood that a document, which outlines the airline’s plans for resuming schedules, outlines plans to resume operations on previously operated routes from Dublin as well commencing new services from Dublin and Manchester to destinations including Barbados and Mexico. It also says however that the Shannon to New York (JFK) and Boston routes have had their “suspensions extended” to S22 (summer 2022) or “February mid-terms or early March.”
There’s also speculation about the future of the popular Aer Lingus Shannon/London Heathrow service with some suggesting that if flights resume on the route, it may not be with an aircraft that would be based at Shannon. The airline would usually have one Airbus A320 aircraft based at Shannon to serve the London Heathrow route while a long range A321neo have been used to operate transatlantic services to New York and Boston. Independent TD for Clare Michael McNamara said: “This is a cause of great concern but is indicative of the government’s laissez faire attitude to aviation which is now coming home to roost. It’s not just this government but also previous governments.” “It’s ironic that some of the Aer Lingus fleet is now being deployed to operate from Manchester when there are no plans to resume services from Shannon. I am also concerned for the Shannon to Heathrow service and for the future of the airline’s slots at Heathrow if they’re not used. It’s clear that the government’s aviation policy is at odds with its regional development and foreign direct investment policy,” Deputy McNamara added.

Delta have cancelled routes on a very large portion of their network, will none of these see flights return? Delta had previously signalled intention to restart in 2021.

Staff who work the DL flights in SNN were informed on August 11th that they wouldn't operate this year.

IngazZagni wrote: » Just to clarify this. They are closing their cabin crew base but will still base aircraft here I understand. Aer Lingus didn't base pilots here instead choosing to use Dublin based pilots so I'm assuming a similar routine will happen here. I'm not exactly sure how this saves costs but it must do for them to do it.
