Someone tweeted flybe asking about it the other day and they replied that they thought it was only a seasonal service :rolleyes: It's possible that this is becoming a seasonal route in which case it may go the same way as WAT-MAN and not return at all.

I took the liberty this morning of contacting Flybe through Facebook, it looks like NOC-MAN is cancelled.

That's disappointing news, they went from 4 routes to 0 quite fast. Only 2 scheduled airlines operating from Knock this winter

JCX BXC · 09-07-2015 4:05pm

They had 4 routes from Knock? MAN, BHX, EDI and what else?

Good news, seems the Facebook page didn't know much.

Flybe ideally shouldnt be making these decisions in Late July, as it may affect the service slightly for the winter.

Was it 4pw last winter?

I agree, very late to be releasing the seats for winter. Yeah same frequency and days last winter.

Will RWY 09 ever get ILS or is it not considered to be needed?

I'm temporarily locking this thread until I get a chance to look back properly at it in a couple of hours.

Update :I've deleted all the posts from the last couple of days, it was all off topic nonsense and trolling of the highest order. Keep to Aviation, anyone else posting off topic nonsense will receive a one week ban, no warnings or infractions issued, just a ban.

After 5 months of growth at NOC, June numbers dropped by over 5%.

Will be interesting to see if they pass the August peak reached last year.

I'd imagine it won't, with the loss of BHX, CGN and LPA (and reduced season of some servics) it seems rather unlikely.

The lufthansa/germanwings service used to be to Dusseldorf then changed to Cologne afaik. The hahn service only lasted 1 season

What's the aircraft scheduled to land at Knock for the JFK charter? I may well be around that neck of the woods at the time and need to know if it's worth my while.

It will more less be the same arrival/departure as the DUB-JFK-DUB service operates.

Didn't realise EI would be willing to fly that on peak season charter.

Not much else to fly.

I'm sure they will be paid handsomely for it. Also DUB has 2 other flights to JFK that day with EI alone so its not going to be much of a disruption.

They're suspending the daytime JFK-DUB EI102 service on the 8th of August and return DUB-JFK EI103 on the 9th.

Probably the quieter days of the week to do it.

With 98% LFs average on routes a couple of days ago, is there really a quiet day? That's my logic, because of the flight a couple of weeks back for the Special Olympics crowd to LAX. I suppose as long as they have the set up in both airports they can manage.
Thanks for the input. :P

Commercial decision, someone willing to charter the whole plane months ahead vs the unknown of booking profile of a new service. Easy money

EI did not operate a special to LAX, the Special Olympics team flew DUB-JFK-LAX

I see Croatia airlines are arriving from Dublin this evening and continue on to Dubrovnik! How long does this charter go on for ? Do they pick up in Dublin first or just drop off and depart for knock ?

They rotate between Dublin, Cork, Shannon and Knock each week (every Wednesday), with Dublin being the most frequent.
It won't be coming in again until the 30 September.
