Aer Lingus cuts back

AER LINGUS, following the resignation of Chief Executive Dermot Mannion in April, is cutting back on flights out of both Belfast and Dublin for next winter.  One of the three aircraft based in Belfast will be withdrawn as well as flights to Barcelona, Faro, Milan, Paris and Rome.  This will leave services to Heathrow, Malaga, Munich, Lanzarote and Tenerife.  An aircraft will also be withdrawn at Dublin but which route has not been confirmed.  Aer Lingus said revenues in January to March slumped 16% from the previous year.  On a positive front the load factor on Belfast routes was 81% in April, the highest yet. www.aerlingus.com
