Your right ”apparently” it doesnt apply to charter flights yet when EI operated DUB-MCO which they operated as a charter it stopped in SNN and now that MON are operating a once weekly DUB-SFB it returns to DUB via SNN.
We have our fingers crossed over here that the goverment is going to announce that they are going to cut the emphasis on SNN so that for every 3 nonstop TX flights from DUB you must operate 1 to SNN.
The same applies with Canada only thats alot more complicated but at the moment AC and TSC operate via SNN.
If you have ever wondered why EI operate to so few US cities its because the air agreement states that they may only operate to LAX,JFK,EWR,ORD and BOS. MCO was operated as a charter and BWI was able to operate because of some route development fund. However US carriers may operate from any city in the US to DUB and SNN. We are also praying that the goverment here are going to negotiate a new agreement which will allow EI access to more citys stateside with SFO,PHL and DFW the hot favourites.
