![]() I think with the A321LR chosen for transatlantic it’s very unlikely they’ll opt for the MAX on short haul. Shortlisted airport meetings will take place at the end of April at Routes Europe, followed by an official announcement of 2019 destinations in early May. "Airports along with local government, business and tourism bodies are invited to submit information to assist in building the commercial and operational case to operate a new direct route by 6th April, 2018. The process applies to both the A321LR aircraft as well as existing A330 aircraft, as wide-body capacity may become available by substitution with the new A321LR aircraft." "The process is extended to both airports not yet served by AerLingus for new route opportunity and those already served by AerLingus, for increased capacity/frequencies. AerLingus would operate to Dublin, Europe’s fastest growing transatlantic hub, offering both US Customs and Border Protection pre-clearance and extensive onward connectivity throughout Europe." Multiple studies have shown the economic multiplier benefits of international air service. ![]() The process presents a unique opportunity for North American airports and their local communities to invest alongside AerLingus in the introduction or expansion of AerLingus service. "AerLingus has launched a Request for Information for Commercial Support for Transatlantic Network Development (RFI). I can't recall but usually route announcements are September to November time. If it is a problem it’s a problem that can be easily addressed, but it might cost them a few bob. I don’t know anything about what’s supposed to be happening at Aer Lingus but theres currently a very buoyant jobs market for well trained and highly experienced staff and with so many opportunities at home and abroad it could be difficult for any operator to hold on to their staff. I’ve never heard of a regulator anywhere imposing operational restrictions on an airline for failing to have sufficient staff but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen. They’re quite detailed and there are also set limits on things like the ratio of contract staff to permanent employees (it used to be maximum of 50%) which have to be observed. Operators have to provide a maintenance man hour plan to the regulator (IAA) to show they have sufficient manpower resources to cope with the operation they run. Perhaps they have reached the limit of their goal of "do more with less"Ĭan I assume that you cant just build up your engineering dept in a matter of weeks? Assuming that the ex-QR A332 is due to operate within 3 weeks? And indeed statements by EI Execs over the last 18 months contiually focus on their lean operation. If true (and I dont mean to disparage your info) this would show that the very healthy expansion by EI is not being backed up by similar growth in personnel behind the scenes.
