Dublin Airport New Routes 2016

Werent QR pretty firm on their CEO statement about coming to DUB? No indication on date however.

If they had firm plans they would of announced it last week. The language used suggested this announcement is not about them. I also think they said and the daa said it would be announced in 2017 and start in 2017 depending on the date announced.

Chinese or DY Long Haul I think are more likely than QR and it won't be CX.

Qatar IS a 2017 announcement for a 2017 launch.

A Chinese CL60 is in town, might just be a coincidence.

Currently EI only leasing A/C to add capacity to SNN-JFK (which free's up B757 for additional DUB-JFK) So no really "short on L/H aircraft", just want more for peak season.

SNN-BOS actually.

It does seem as though they aren't short at the moment, it's hard to see where they can get 2 aircraft every year for the next few years.

Looks very reasonable for Cyprus, only €50 one way/€100 return.

Looks like Citywing will use slots they received for LDY-DUB

Probably mentioned before but I saw an ad in Vancouver airport at the weekend that Air Canada Rouge were starting direct flights direct between YVR and DUB

Direct maybe, but not non-stop flights. I assume this stops in Montreal or Toronto enroute?

Cravens

I believe they are non-stop.

No this is not a WOW Air or indeed a Westjet situation.

It's a genuine non-stop flight operated thrice weekly by a B767-300.

Tenger - have you not downloaded either the Dublin Airport app or the Dublin Airport summer timetable pdf?? ;-)

Tsk tsk - back to A & A mod schedule training for you!!

Both of those answered your questions on overnights and the direct flights!

Tenger

Darnnit...I got confused with Westjet!
Fair play to Rouge with the YVR-DUB..

Even worse....my sister actually asked my advice on booking to YVR last month. Price difference was neglible so I told them to do BA via LHR on the A380. So I did know it was non stop.....then forgot!

And now my looks are going too......

Not sure I would be all to happy doing it with a 767 non stop, pretty close to the limit of the range on the 300 that Rouge use.

What's the issue with it?

Cravens

DL have done LHR to SEA with a 763 for a long while now, which I think is a bit further than DUB-YVR.

The distance between DUB and YVR is around 4500 miles, the range of the 767-300ER that Air Canada use with a full load is 6550 miles

I just did the BA route via LHR and I have to say I really enjoyed the A380! I don't know if it was because I was on the upper deck, but the engines were really quiet, even on take off I was wondering if they were on at all
But waiting for the connection on the way home in Heathrow is a killer, so near yet so far, though better than a middle of the night connection somewhere like Toronto, so I'm interested in the non-stop option from Dublin.

Distance between Dublin and Toronto is about 5,000 km Vancouver is on the other side of the Canadian landmass!

I know they use the 767ER just a personal thing with the distance, the plane type and my own weirdness really

Great circles. Dublin -> Vancouver doesn't pass anywhere near Toronto. So it's nowhere close to DUB-YYZ (5247) + YYZ-YVR (3364km) = 8611km total

Billie figures are right, Toronto is 3300 miles and Vancouver is 4550 miles which is over 5 and 7,000 km respectively.

Any chance we can get back to the topic at hand?

Tenger

No harm on that point. We can argue about length in after hours.

From Travel Extra email this morning.

Any ideas of the airline and city?

Quote:

A surprise route from Dublin from a major network carrier almost got announced on Tuesday. A room was booked in the Shelbourne Hotel. A time was set and a brief statement declared that “one of the world’s major airlines will announce that it is to launch a new daily service from Dublin Airport. In addition to strengthening Dublin and Ireland’s connectivity with important global markets, the route will generate millions of euro in visitor revenue, contributing to the overall Irish economy." Then it all got cancelled. The route is likely to be announced before the winter slot conference on Tuesday, or on the day. Separately, Dublin-Doha is likely to start May 2017. Akbar Al Baker says that the route would start next year, while Stephen Kavanagh of Aer Lingus says it was a medium-term project: the only question is whose metal will operate on the route.

Cobalt airlines and Lacarna?

That route is only twice weekly the statement does quote daily and a major airline surely not Cobalt airlines??????

Well the travel extra story seems to rule out Qatar as the surprise announcement. They seem to think AAB has already announced DOH-DUB (Which has been strongly hinted at)

Would an existing "major network carrier" (ie AA,DL,UA,TK,BA,EK,EY) serving Dublin need to made a big announcement about expanding current DUB ops?

All points to China if the above statement is correct. I guess there is a chance of new US hub's but the first tweet did say "new" carrier and a US carrier starting in winter would be a little strange.

Yes that does seem to be the case maybe a China link at long last?
