DAA going ahead with a 2nd runway. Will be interesting to see what new destinations come about as a result of this. Far East would be obvious. Maybe seasonal flights to S Africa as well ------------- Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one".

A hape of new transatlantic flights to new destinations and a load of connecting flights from all over Europe. It's the obvious option, given our geographic position. The number of long distance flights that fly near or over Ireland is huge and there is definitely a market for connecting transatlantic passengers, especially from the UK. The reason we aren't a huge transatlantic hub at the minute is because so much of the capacity is used transporting people to and from Europe. With large demand for access to European cities from Dublin and back, DAA can't give loads of slots to transatlantic flights for transfer passengers. However, with a second runway, and an effective doubling of capacity, not to mention the capacity constraints at Heathrow, along with the IAG/EI merger, and the spare capacity of T2, increased transatlantic transfer flights are almost inevitable. -------------

Vegas would be a route surely,Miami as well although think AL having been looking at Miami to regardless of a new runway but will help them. Dallas or Houston you would have to think would be on the list as well ------------- Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one".

A second runaway is a huge boost for Dublin, particularly IAG (The owners of Aer Lingus) Aer Lingus have a number of new A350's coming in to their line I'm sure they'll be delighted by the news. DAA should of been on Norwegian Air's case earlier, they're expanding in a serious way particularly to the USA with a rake of new 787 Dreamliners on the way it would of been ideal for them. They can't get enough pilots right now, but then with their terms and conditions i can see why no one is jumping for joy to sign for them. As for new routes, supply and demand, I don't believe a daily flight from Dublin to Houston would be cost effective DI another few come to mind would fit into that category, DAA would be safer aiming at the likes of the budget airlines to use it as a hub like Ryanair currently do. Gatwick is a prime example its bursting with budget airlines, Easy, Norwegian, Wizz, Ryanair. Norwegian would of been ideal with our prime location to the USA. Don't be surprised if Mr O'Leary decides he wants a few 787s in a few years and starts heading transatlantic from Dublin, to add to his already expansive european network, he'd nearly be able to connect the whole of Europe to the USA/Mexico via Dublin.

I remember reading Ryanair were considering this a couple of years ago and there was talk of transatlantic flights starting from £10.
Think to afford that they were going to up the price of food etc on the flight but still a bit mad. Wouldn't of minded paying £10 for a flight to New York all the same. |

So were Norwegian, who now fly to LA, New York Boston among other American destinations. Wouldn't require anything of the sort copy Norwegian simple as that, direct to Gatwick to New York from £200. That's the next step in our industry budget airlines heading Long Haul, that's were our profit is mainly. I personally hope O'Leary sticks to flying to Ex Millitary airports in Europe. ------------- YBIG Resident Pilot |

Well... TJ, me and the Dublin ATC don't get along in a previous encounter were I managed to delay a few planes while holding short of Yankee Bravo I think, I was doing checks with the captain the cheeky bitch keep telling us to move and in future don't do this and that, she informed Heathrow ATC of our ignorance to return the favour we were circling for 15 minutes. I think I'd be right in saying there isn't a hanger big enough for a 747 in Dublin by the way. ------------- YBIG Resident Pilot |

Wait a second, though: do Norwegian offer connecting flight service? Or do they merely run a number of point to point transatlantic services? I don't know the answer to that, incidentally. If they offer connecting services, well, I stand corrected. -------------

Both I believe, I know they to fly Puerto Rico, LA, SF, Florida out of Gatwick direct. For the likes of Guadeloupe and other Caribbean destinations as well as Las Vegas and Balitmore they're connecting flights with Norwegian. I beleive, Dubai might be connecting as well I'm not sure. I can get to Puerto Rico from LGW for £129 each way with Norwegian, which is ridiculous.

Great news for Dublin. Getting the likes of Norwegian is all well and good but how long will they continue with cheap transatlantic flights when the price of oil inevitably rises again?!?!? The low risk strategy is to go with the more established transatlantic Airlines. Furthermore, Ryanair, in the past year or so, have been in discussions with major transatlantic Airlines over the possibility of shuttling transatlantic passengers to hub airports e.g. Gatwick and Dublin. The building of the second runway will really steal a march on Heathrow given the political paralysis surrounding the decision to build a new runway at the airport. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class."

| How much of a difference does an extra runway really make? Does it allow two planes land simultaneously (one on each). I never really thought that was DA's problem, more that there wasn't enough room in the terminals. Will it really allow more planes to land? |

For a very long time judging by the aircraft they've purchased, the best in the business the Dreamliner is sublime I haven't had the opportunity to fly one yet but it's lighter faster, more fuel efficient and a better costumer experience then a 777 or A330. They're also recruiting pilots like crazy currently which is usually a good indicator. You have to realise Airlines work on supply and demand they don't randomly pick locations, BA would be more likely then Virgin due to IAG and Aer Lingus, they've all parts in place to start flying globally from Dublin, Asia included. Virgin usually work seasonal out of the likes of Belfast so possibly the same in Dublin for the likes of Florida, It wouldn't make sense to fly another 4 flights to JFK for example when there's Aer Lingus, American, Delta, United all flying there to. It makes a huge difference: One for take off, one for landing it reduces the waiting around on the Tarmac, crucially it saves the airline money as taxing using around 5% of the total fuel and secondly makes for a better customer experience as it's quicker to get from A to B. What type of planes are you thinking DI? There's no chance an A380 is landing in Dublin. ------------- YBIG Resident Pilot |

I read up on this about 15 minutes ago to see the length of the new runaway etc It's able to take one million pounds of aircraft that will take an A380 if they build the taxi ways the same as Heathrow that is, Emirates own 50? might be 51 now so never know they could fly in an A380 at some stage. Miami is sure to be a route with some airline, It got 60,000 searches on Sky Scanner this year clearly a demand for the route, more importantly AL have the new aircraft to be able to accommodate that route. An aircraft at MTOW out of Dublin can just about reach airport in the world with the exception of Australasia, I just can't see it making as big of a difference as some here have assumed a longer runaway won't play a 'huge' factor in routes to say Rio De Janeiro or Cape Town, Dallas. Unless an airline comes to an agreement to begin connecting flights, to take passengers from Glasgow to Dublin onwards to Singapore. Then you need a carrier capable of fulfilling those routes British Airways would make most sense due to IAG they already do this with the likes of Belfast City among other regional airports were BA Cityflyer connect to a British Airways flight. Norwegian would of made perfect sense, even for the Irish People Norwegian would of been perfect.

Yep I would say that connecting people from the likes of Glasgow is fairly probable with BA operating direct flights from here to where ever in the Far East.

wouldn't see as stealing a march on heathrow. heathrow won't be able to have an additional runaway for another 10 years so considering willie walsh is a sharp f**ker, he saw the best bet was the outstanding planning permission in place at Dublin Airport, to tie in with the fact that he could buy AL for a decent price. it certainly is great news that this planning permission will finally be put to use. if ready in 2020, it would be 17 years since the proposal started. seems that there are a few sticking points in the original plan that AL among the other airlines are looking for resolution on, particularly the amount of flights between 11pm and 7am. if the new runaway has the capability to take planes the size of A380 / 787s (I'm sure something can clarify this?) then the natural idea would be to get these running on it, but that will create more noise pollution. if anyone was at the Dublin airshow along the liffey a couple of years ago and remember when the british airways brand new A380 ripped by nearly shattering every window in sight!! whatever the case, it is a good step in terms of job creation and at the current suggested price of 320m to construct it is certainly nice to hear of rather than the standard over-aggressive costs associated for any infrastructure build in ireland. If only the government can firstly decide to become a working government, and secondly open their eyes to the fact that a proper transport system between airport and city centre is needed to coincide with the increase in footfold coming and going through the country.

The runway is capable of taking one million pounds, therefore capable of taking an A380 the variant Emirates use. That all depends if the taxi ways are spaced correctly and can take the weight off course. Haven't seen the length anywhere yet. ------------- YBIG Resident Pilot |

I think I read that the airlines would prefer a slightly longer runaway but in order to do so it would need a new proposal meaning another few years delay. the taxi system is far better in Dublin than the likes of heathrow and CDG so hopefully they don't make a cock up of it

So true, it's absolutely ridiculous that there is no direct rail link to Dublin Airport in this day and age when so many airports of a similar size eg Gatwick, Manchester etc have railway stations on site. As you say though, an actual working government is needed to start with.

yeah a spur from clongriffen has been mentioned several times and at one stage I think Irish Rail were backing it.The set up JFK Airport have with Airtrain from Jamaica station works well and I suppose Clongriffen spur would be a similar idea Ideally there would be a dedicated direct rail from airport connecting up with Connolly and Heuston stations and also go out to Swords etc. and going south from Stephen Green. |

Scanned over comments so apologies if it missed much! Used to work in the airport in the dept that deals with development Few points The runway should see us as Heathrow's third runway but I wouldn't expect a while heap of new routes either, definitely a few us cities and one or two Asia but would be surprised if there's loads. Transfer pax have been growing hugely and this will definitely help that even more. T2 is full/over capacity in the mornings up until 11am which is when most airlines want to go, especially to the US, a lot of long haul airlines won't use t1 and won't fly another time, this does lose routes The airport as a whole isn't far off capacity either, hence some airlines now need to use buses to get to their planes |

You're incorrect that they've not been working with Norwegian, you're incorrect they should have been there early, they were at them from the start, Norwegian have been there for years You're incorrect Aer Lingus will be getting a350s, anyone who worked for iag would know this Your level of understanding of why Gatwick and Dublin don't compare and don't compete for Norwegian long haul routes could be exposed by a 15 year old Several airlines have tried and failed to compete with Ryanair in dublin, all have failed, none will hub there, it is far from safe to chase that end and would almost definitely fail Your post has a huge lack of understanding of the economics of airlines and airports, how and why airlines choose routes and what's needed for a hub, and I've zero doubt you don't work for an airline (shock horror) as you wouldn't have made such a post working for one for a week |

My post was concise. This is not Pprune or BALPA, the second of which you won't be on. Aer Lingus will get A350's once they've upgraded the Iberia fleet as they've done with A330's and the NEO it makes sense upgrade the Iberia fleet first, I'm well IAG took control off that order of the A350's as I'm aware of a lot of things I'm not going to post on an Ireland football forum. Dublin/Gatwick are comparable due to the one runway, Gatwick has roughly 15million more passengers and a far greater range of options in terms of carriers and destinations. Now, Ryanair has been unchallenged in Dublin, Easyjet never came back in 2002 they turned it down. I'm 7 years at a legacy carrier airline with thousands of hours to my name in 777's, A320s', D42'. To be clear, (quoting yourself) I fly the aircraft. Could you tell me what procedures you carry out at 35,000ft with a double engine failure in a triple 7? The answer will be No. I'm fed up reading this thrash from fools. I'm done here.

Gatwick is an airport with little connecting traffic in a major world city with huge inbound and outbound tourism that can support an airline such as Norwegian using it as a hub Dublin does not look to compete with it, how did I know? I used to benchmark Dublin against other airports for a living The one runway thing is a nonsense, if only for the fact Dublin has cross runways and can and does use both in peak times |

QuickPark is closed due to some dispute over rents so the other long term ones can tend to book out quicker at busy times

Was meant to go to New York tomorrow for five days flying with KLM The wife went on to check something on their site last night, put in our details and it said our flight had been cancelled and refund vouchers issued on 14th June None of us cancelled this. There was a scam phone call around then were the were trying to get my wife to pay £800 for checking in a suitcase she had to cancel her card at the bank to stop this. They knew all the flight details at the time on that phone call Has anyone heard of anything like this happening?

Just back from a holiday and my god Aer Lingus really were the sh*ts. Flight home was delayed 3 hours and when we got on the plane they didn't even have any stock. No bottles of water even. This is on top of numerous issues I was also having with my booking. Think I'll avoid any more foreign trips until the flight industry gets itself sorted.

sh*t buzz. Sounds dodgy alright. Was it their actual site she went on and not some dodgy link from a fake email leading to a fake site? Other than a data leak which would probably be out there if KLM were breached, you're probably looking at a phishing scam like above or else spyware on the device used to book to obtain your personal data and flight info like that. Neither of you happened to post anything publicly on social media by any chance? Like a screenshot of the booking, even partially? Because all you need is the ref / booking number and surname to get in on most airlines sites. There you can find all your personal details and even cancel and change the flights etc.. most people dont realise how easy it can be done. |

The wife put a tweet up complaining about trying to book a bag on with KLM, and from that the phone call came from the scammers saying they would book a bag on for us That’s how it started and must be where the flight was cancelled from

No On the phone all they would say is that they were cancelled on 14th June and vouchers issued and they couldn’t do anything

Yea the flight was paid for months ago My wife phoned up 3 weeks ago to arrange an extra bag but didn’t get anywhere with them, made a tweet complaining Was then contacted by someone claiming to be from Delta/KLM and saying they’d take a payment Tried to take £900 Bank was alerted to it and we cancelled the card Then the day after the flight was apparently cancelled by someone on their website

That's a awful story. Any hope of KLM rectifying it? Heard more stories like this recently, scams where the scammer does nothing more than f**king over someone really, they didn't amke anything out if this did they?

Whole system seems a mess at the moment. The brother was emigrating home from Australia last week - Got as far as Heathrow and his Aer Lingus flight was cancelled. They then couldn't find him in the system. Due to be on a flight from Heathrow at 2.30PM on Friday, eventually got back into Dublin at 10pm on Saturday. Still no sign of any bags.

He'll be waiting. Alot in transit in Heathrow aren't getting their bags when they get to Dublin. Personally, I wouldn't be checking in bags anywhere if I could avoid it (your brother obviously couldn't avoid it).
