I was down in Waterford yesterday and they have very little to complain about this summer. A number of the summer services have already kicked off with flights to Amsterdam, Faro, Malaga & Galway. Services to Bordeaux and Lorient start in the next 2 to 3 weks. Aer Arann have also added a third L...

Waterford Airport checked in its 100,000th passenger for 2007, a record-breaking year for the regional airport which serves the southeast with scheduled flights to London-Luton; Birmingham and Manchester as well as summer routes to France, Portugal and Spain. The champagne was popped by airport CEO,...

Lambada Crazy, By now it would make alot more sense not listening to the boys in "the club" !. I dont like your phrase to "get pulled", as highlighed above how can you pull something that was scheduled to stop anyway ? As someone who has inside information on the Nex/146 operatio...

I see waterford airport has a new website up at http://www.flywaterford.com, needs afew tweeks but a great improvement over the old site.

Some improvements to the pilots section aswell

This bus is going to be EI-REL. Aer Arann seem to have a fear of REC & REK for some reason.

As I said

And so FlyU have gone to the big airport in the sky ...

Generally only the name FlyU is gone, as far as i know Nordic will be operating their BAE146-200 on their behalf.

FlyU will return once they sort out their AOC

From what i've heard this is a one off colour scheme to celebrate the arrival of the first 500. The rest of the aircraft will have the standard Aer Arann scheme.

This aircraft will do the rounds of the regional airports before being based in Cork.

Malaga, Faro & Bordeuax will each operate twice per we...

Knock have got about 27 million
Donegal 2 million
Galway / Sligo about 6 million each
Kerry unknown
