EDI - YYZ is still on sale now with WestJet
Have pulled economy fares, so I'd expect it to go.
Four carriers on any specific route is rare - usually one will give up as a viable yield becomes impossible to get.
Westjet have terminated the DUB:Halifax route also but increased Calgary to 5 times a week next year according to Simplyflying.com
AA to DFW will now operate year round
Also, CLT will begin earlier for S24, starting in March instead of the usual May
I see Hainan Airlines are restarting their EDI-PEK route. Previously EDI was a stop off en route to DUB but it looks like the Dublin section has been scrapped.
You could actually book EDI-DUB on Hainan at a decent price which was a nice alternative to Ryanair or Aer Lingus so a shame they haven't included it this time around.
Pity about that. You'd really feel like the pandemic and its impacts were well and truly behind us if such flights to China from Ireland had resumed!
Would much prefer to see the Cathay service from DUB to HKG and it’s onward connections back - it was a great route to have pre-Covid…
JAL to NRT and/or Korean to ICN would be my dream routes.
Agreed, fabulous service
If we’re dreaming, let’s make it JAL to HND..!
Looks like Hainan is back Dub to Pek from the 27th June to early October twice weekly and now bookable on their website
Sounds good to me :) I need to go back to Japan....
Spotted this today:
Whatever happened to the parking areas? Are they offices now?
Initially closed as a security risk, now just empty AFAIK
Not sure if the right place to discuss this (please mods move it if needed)
I'm flying from Dublin to London City Airport soon and was wondering is the flight path changed to the route where you're flying over Tower Bridge/The O2 etc
Went in 2018 and was very disappointed it didn't fly in that way
Direction of approach will depend on whether the wind is easterly or westerly on a given day. Aircraft generally land and take off into the wind.
Yeah the approach over London is on my bucket list but sadly it hasn't happened yet due to the wind. Easterly winds and you'll come over Tower Bridge at 2000ft. Make sure you're on the right hand side of the plane with no wing obscuring.
Thats why I liked the old Cityjet Arvos, the winds were above you, great views.
I don’t know - the view from the left hand side isn’t a bad view either!
I was on a flight to LCY that flew in from the West a few years ago but unfortunately it was very foggy. I got a glimpse of St Paul's but that was it.
Offices. Ramps are still usable for loading
New charges discount scheme for noise and fuel efficiency is likely to see EI scramble to get more 32Ns and Ryanair to primarily base 73M pretty sharpish I'd guess.
Yeah went in Westerly way in 2018 which was my only time on the route until June of this year
Did stay in hotel on the flight path to the Airport and its was a an experience
Well as I said, the view from the left isn’t too bad!
This is from 2015 just as the aircraft was turning back towards LCY.
Not too bad.
But this video shows it off really well from the west, on the right hand side of the plane. Full approach on a glorious day. Wish I'd been the one filming it.

Brazil and India seem like obvious choices as they both have very large populations in Ireland now.
Lots of Irish travellers do South America trips so having a direct flight into the continent would significantly expand that market too. An Indian city would make for another popular transit stop on the way to Oz and NZ or for touring India itself.
Hopefully both routes materialise!
While I would agree with South America being possibly lucrative, I somehow doubt India would work . Aside from what airline would run it, I think Emirates has India well covered.
As for China, we had Shenzhen ( sp? ) and HK served before. While I think HK was a victim of the pandemic, I doubt the likes of Shenzhen would be viable. I hope I’m gladly proved wrong.
BUT, before increasing routes DAA must sort out parking . No point increasing the numbers if the infrastructure isn’t able to cope.
The newly Tata-invested Air India has big expansion plans. It wouldn’t surprise me if they served DUB in the medium term.
2 A320NEO's already here, 4 more to come. They stay on the LHR route as LHR offer considerably reduced fees
8 A321NEOLR's, 6 XLR's coming
The A320NEO has a slightly lower noise footprint than the MAX8 so is cheaper again and that has impacts as to the noise quota on the new runway overnight
@WishUWereHere DAA have done a deal to buy the former Quick Park but it's subject to CCPC approval.
