AerLingus vurderer UK-US ruter

[Trdfly]

Da ser det ut som Aer Lingus blir å prøve seg på UK-USA med A321neoLR.

Aer Lingus (EI, Dublin Int'l) is contemplating ending its transatlantic services from Shannon and moving the two A321-200NX(LR)s used to ply them to an airport in the United Kingdom, The Irish Times has reported.

According to sources, the Irish unit of IAG International Airlines Group has scouted British airports regarding their interest and their terms for the basing of aircraft for the transatlantic flights. It has received a total of six bids, including from Manchester Int'l and Birmingham Int'l, as well as four other undisclosed regional gateways in the UK.

Aer Lingus is looking to trial transatlantic routes out of the British airport in 2021 for an initial period of three years.

Re: IAG har forsøkt å kjøpe Aer Lingus

Lingus har jo brukt Manchester som hub tidligere, hvor de foret Europatrafikk inn dit og videre til irske destinasjoner. De fløy bl.a. København-Manchester.

Men interkont er noe nytt ..

 

[Someone]

De hadde jo også tidligere en heller lite suksessfull hub på LGW husker jeg rett

Men ser ut som de her også er på jakt etter subsidier

 

[Trdfly]

Slots er iallfall på plass ..

Aer Lingus (EI, Dublin Int'l) has obtained slots at Manchester Int'l for unspecified long-haul routes and plans to base one A330 and three A321-200NX(LR)s out of the English airport, according to Airport Coordination Limited.

De etablerer et eget britisk selskap for formålet, med addresse i Nord Irland, for formålet. Forstår også flyene som brukes skal på britisk register?

I søknaden til DOT har de meldt inn JFK, BOS og MCO fra MAN, men kan vel mulig endre seg

 

[Blubird]

Første steg på veien til å bli IAGs Irsk-Britisk-Nord Europeiske lavpris-selskap?

Ser ut som det nå er snakk om 2 A330-300 og 2 A321LR når de en gang i fremtiden planlegger longhaul fra MAN

While no official announcement has yet been made regarding the opening up of Manchester as an international base to operate transatlantic flights, it is understood that two Airbus A330’s will take up UK markings in the coming weeks. EI-ELA and EI-EDY will become G-EILA and G-EIDY respectively. Two Airbus A321LR’s due for delivery this year will go directly to the UK register on delivery as G-EILG and G-EILH.

BOS og JFK er planlagt med A321LR, mens de to "ferierutene" får A330-300

Ser ut som Manchester-USA rutene er utsatt 2 måneder til september

Da var første Airbus A330-300 flyttet over til Aer Lingus UK.

AOC på plass, men oppstartet er flyttet på 3 uker til 20 oktober

Selv om jeg antar flightene blir markedsført under AerLingus og EI-koden så har de fått sine egne koder og callsign:

IATA: EG
ICAO: EUK
Callsign: Green Flight

De 4 planlagte maskinene i flåten

A330-300 G-EIDY tidl. EI-EDY
A330-300 G-EILA tidl. EI-ELA
A321LR G-EIRH tidl EI-LRH
A321LR G-EILG tidl EI-LRG

Aer Lingus (United Kingdom) (Belfast City) received its Operating Licence (OL) from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on August 9, 2021, but has since deferred its launch from September 30 to October 20, 2021, due to the ongoing travel restrictions between the United Kingdom and the United States.

After several delays, Aer Lingus has confirmed they will launch nonstop transatlantic flights from New York (JFK) and Orlando (MCO) to Manchester (MAN) from Dec. 1 and Dec. 11 respectively. Flights are now on sale.
