East Midlands: Aer Lingus Flight Status, Hub News & Discussion

[Ray Finkle]

Aer Lingus Regional, operated by Stobart Air, to Dublin, 2x daily during the week and 1x daily at weekends. The article says that Dublin Airport exec's would be “working closely with Aer Lingus Regional to promote the new service to East Midlands and the recently launched Leeds Bradford service because of the significant potential for onward connections at Dublin Airport”.

Good news for EMA 🙂

Aer Lingus Regional, operated by Stobart Air, is to add a new East Midlands service to its growing Dublin route network from next February.Air Lingus Regional expects to carry up to 70,000 customers during the first year on the new service, which will have twice daily return flights operated by the company’s brand new fleet of regional aircraft.The launch of the new service to East Midlands Airport is part of a franchise agreement between Stobart Air and Aer Lingus.

This service has been reduced to double daily on Monday and Fridays only and from early may will be reduced further to once daily.

I guess starting ops at DSA won't help.

That is bad news for EMA, they just cant keep the full service airlines for some reason. Maybe too much competition down the M42.

It will be interesting to see what happens to Eurowings at EMA ?

Emerald are in the process of loading 2 new routes to its system. Belfast City to East Midlands is one. I’m guessing this is something to do with Flybe collapse.
