They are going low cost don’t you know :rolleyes:

Au revoir mon cherie 🙂

Prefer the old one but hey, whatcha gonna do about it, changed now. Looks like the NW Oriental livery to be honest.

Mongu,
The Shannon stop is a legal requirement imposed by the Irish authorities to guarantee the success of tourism in the west of Ireland. Frankly it is an outdated law and risks transatlantic services over regional politics.

The Irish government is now under pressure to scrap the rule as part of a move to liberalise aviation from Europe to the USA. The actual stopover is not well liked by the American airlines with Delta and Continental all angry at the situation because it costs them a lot of money. Even threatened to pull out of Ireland.

A large Irish population in Philidelphia so good news for the Dublin in Shannon. We need some new Aer Lingus trans-atlantic routes soon!
EGNM, out of interest, which flights has Shannon lost? Just I am interested in the Irish flights..

Use my Kai Tak trademark slogan :p
Bet that must of scared the passengers!

Nice pictures there guys…

“G-BMLC — Aurigny Air Services — Shorts 360. (Nice to see this… one of the blokes I got talking to said it was operating a Mail flight?)”

You saw the thing we have to put up with on Inter island! Dirty aircraft, hope the second one they are leasing is nicer. Anyway, it was the mail flight from Jersey. I think this flight might be ending soon because the mail will go through shipping at Portsmouth due to increased security as every letter has to be checked. Might get a Trislander up because they woud still be doing a small bit of mail but the trouble is that they would have to re-fuel at LGW.
