It is a possibility. No-one will have foreseen current events in Eastern Europe and the subsequent cost of oil.

Good to see Aer Lingus back again. If I've got this right, it's the fourth incarnation of Aer Lingus we've seen at LBA. Aer Lingus mainline in the 60s and 70s, Commuter in the 80s and 90s, Stobart in the 2010s and 2020s and now Emerald. What next ?

 

[SNOWMAN]

mainline again would be very nice.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

mainline again would be very nice.

I never understood/cant remember why Aer Lingus mainline stopped flying to Leeds after all those years of successful operations with 1-11's and 737's, which included several combis each week.

Aer Lingus Regional (operated by Emerald) twice daily Dublin - Leeds-Bradford service recommences operation tomorrow using ATR72-600 aircraft for first time since March 2020.

Yes good to see and it will make LBAYorkie happy I am sure.

Shame they got their wires crossed badly though regarding the Belfast route, stating it will commence flights from mid May, when in fact they are already operating and LBA should have been included in the list of start up routes.

What Emerald were saying is that there will be additional flights from mid May, not that the route starts mid May.

It's really disappointing when a specialist journal gets it so wrong as it could actually lose Emerald bookings on the route between now and mid May. You expect errors in the likes of the YEP but not in this publication.

Especially disappointing when the same article has a quote from Emerald clearly stating the service from May is additional to those already existing. In common with many publications these days it seems checking before publication has gone out of the window.

Aer Lingus Regional has brought the date forward for increasing the frequency of the Leeds to Belfast City route.
It was due to increased from the current 13x to 16x weekly from start of winter timetable in October, but will now increase to 19x weekly starting from Monday, July 24th.

3x daily Mon-Fri & Sun
1x daily Sat

They seem to be giving Flybe a right fight!

 

[SierraHotel]

Wow, that's some major capacity LBA BHD especially when consider BE also on route

Yes but in view of what's happened with LHR, can we be sure that Flybe won't reduce flights to BHD? Seems like Emerald are smelling blood and trying to oust Flybe.

 

[SierraHotel]

I just hope it's not to the detriment of EZYs LBA BFS service.

 

[752]

easyJet must be confident on the route with it back to X5 weekly in winter

Has anyone any experience of Are Lingus's transatlantic service on their new 321 Neo's?? I'm due to be heading back from Washington in January and the choices seem to be change at either Dublin, JFK, or Heathrow to get back to either LBA or MAN. Dublin is the cheapest option by a margin. Any thoughts anyone? TIA

No experience, sorry but would love to do IAD-DUB on an A321. Ending up at LBA of course!

I flew MAN-JFK on their A321. I great experience there and back, they board in MAN on the new pier every time which is a great experience. The service is great onboard, food and drink service is above average.

Only downside is they fly from Jet Blues terminal at JFK - which is arguable the worst.

No delays and efficient service both flights.
