Re: Irish Aviation - April 2024

Im on the fence as to whether DUB needs another airport, and indeed I genuinely do feel a well placed second airport could indeed have a place but who exactly is this proposal there to benefit? I'm not on the fence at all, the last thing Ireland needs is another airport! https://travelupdate.com/wp...

Aer Lingus needs IAG and would not have come on as far as it has without IAG ownership. It would have been a very slow progress in terms of fleet renewal and expansion.
