Re: Dublin Airport
Hi IL76MAN
I know Aer Lingus isn't making money but I can't see how the two businesses can possibly work as one. From a Dublin airport perspective it would surely be the worst case scenario having MOL dictate every move. He's already thrown his dummy out with the Dublin airport authority over the building of Terminal 2.

Re: Dublin Airport - Thread
Aer Lingus and Ryanair already account for 80% of the scheduled traffic from Dublin and it is highly unlikely that any other airline would try to take on Ryanair in their own back yard if the takeover went ahead. Ryanair have offered to give up a number of routes from Dublin to foreign airlines in order to win approval from the EU for the takeover. However, they have also said that they will sell off a number of Aer Lingus Heathrow slots if they are sucessful which has not gone down very well with shareholders, as these are regarded as the "jewels in the crown" of Aer Lingus. The general feeling over here is that this bid will fail as have the two previous ones.

Re: Dublin Airport - Thread
It's good to hear some local insight into the Ryanair - Aer Lingus bid. I don't personally think it would be good for Dublin airport or Ireland as a whole to have Ryanair monopolising Ireland's national airport. A joint force with 80% of all traffic using the airport wouldn't bode well for any future development of the airport.

No-fly zone over Dublin Castle for EU Presidency
The airspace around Dublin Castle will be a no-fly zone – with surface-to-air missiles and patrols by armed aircraft – to protect more than 15,000 delegates during Ireland's €60m Presidency of the European Union.
But with the Government committed to keeping the cost of the EU Presidency down, security costs are also expected to be managed carefully. They will be well below the €36m cost of the visits by President Obama and Queen Elizabeth.
Thousands of gardai and soldiers will be involved in the security operation – over a six-month period which begins on January 1 – to protect the delegates and ministers due to attend the wide range of events, including an Ecofin meeting.

Ryanair to hire 300 as it opens nine Dublin routes

Re: Dublin Airport (DUB) - Thread
Ryanair set for Dublin-Moscow route
Ryanair has been granted permission to fly to destinations in Russia from March next year by the country’s aviation authority. The Federal Air Transport Agency, known as Rosaviatsia, will allow the airline to start regular flights on routes from Dublin to Moscow and St Petersburg.
Ryanair is in “exploratory” talks with a number of airports as potential destinations, according to the Dublin-based carrier’s spokesman Robin Kiely.
“Ryanair has had discussions with a number of Russian airports, but they are purely exploratory at this time,” Kiely said in an e-mailed statement. Russian President Vladimir Putin last year backed plans for low-cost flights, which will require legal changes to permit non-refundable tickets, charging for meals and the hiring of foreign pilots. OAO Aeroflot, Russia’s largest airline, plans to establish a discount unit of its own at a cost of $100 million after specialist no-frills operators EasyJet and Wizz Air targeted its home market.

Re: Dublin Airport (DUB) - Thread
A lot of the increase due to Ryanair's much increased presence following the Irish government's decision to significantly reduce its travel tax it would seem.

Re: Dublin Airport (DUB) - Thread
The BBC has reported the number of passengers from Northern Ireland using Dublin airport has increased by 52% since 2013 with a total of 864,000 air travellers making the journey to the Republic of Ireland to catch their flights.
Not surprising then when airport in the UK say they are concerned about the Scottish Government reducing or abolishing the Air Passenger Duty there.

Re: Dublin Airport (DUB) - Thread
Etihad will reduce AUH-DUB from 2 daily to 1 daily from 10th January.
They are obviously having a hard time against Emirates, so, it goes to show that not all markets are able to sustain many multiple dailies from the MEB3. There was talk of Qatar entering the DUb market, but, I'd be surprised now.
It also begs the question if the Etihad lounge at DUB will be kept open. It's an expensive asset to have for just 1 daily flight.
