Aer Lingus plus and minus

AER LINGUS is cutting its Belfast services by taking one aircraft out of action and axing routes to Barcelona, Faro, Milan, Paris and Rome.  However, new flights from Belfast to Tenerife, and Dublin to Fuerteventura and Tunisia, will come into effect in October.  At the same time the Gatwick network is being expanded with six new operations for this winter including Bucharest, Eindhoven, Lanzarote, Tenerife, Vilinus and Warsaw.  All will be available for travel from the 25 October with the exception of Vilnius, which commences on 10 September.  Last month Aer Lingus reported €93m losses for the first half of 2009 — almost four times the figure for that period last year. www.aerlingus.com
