   Planen är tydligen att fånga ytterligare trafik från "nya" orter och indirekt naturligtvis avlasta Heathrow.

   Willy Walsh CEO IAG:
   I think the beauty of this dual hub, Dublin-Heathrow, is that it gives us opportunities that we don't have today. We're particularly attracted to it because, as I mentioned in the presentation, there are significant number of regional airports in the UK that are not connected to Heathrow, and unfortunately won't be connected to Heathrow, but are connected to Dublin. And that provides IAG, and indeed if you want to bring it down to BA, it gives them a stronger presence in the UK region.
   So we have a lot of frequent fliers who will use Heathrow for long-haul flying into Asia, Africa, the Middle East, but find it more convenient to fly with other airlines on the transatlantic because we don't have that connectivity over Heathrow. And this will give us the opportunity to serve those customers. These are members of our frequent flyer programs and executive programs, and that's why we see this as being significantly beneficial to existing customers, not just Aer Lingus customers, but also other IAG customers.

   @Dr. Miles @Homer
   Helt rätt – läser inlägget en gång till och ser att Homer mycket riktigt skriver
   att Qatar köper 10% av IAG – inte av Air Lingus.. Får nog lämna Exec Lounge
   och champagnen för att satsa på lite mat istället !

   Ryan äger 1/3 och har försökt ta över hela bolaget utan framgång

   Mergers: Commission prohibits Ryanair's proposed takeover of Aer Lingus
   The combination of Ryanair and Aer Lingus would have led to very high market shares on all of these 46 routes:
   On 28 routes the proposed merger would have created an outright monopoly.
   On 11 further routes, the only alleged competitive constraint to the merged entity would have come from charter airlines. However, this constraint would have remained weak because charter airlines have a very different business model.
   Finally, on 7 routes Ryanair and Aer Lingus operate alongside other scheduled carriers. In addition to their very high market shares Ryanair and Aer Lingus are very close competitors – if not each other's closest competitors – on these routes. The reason is that the business model of competing scheduled operators tends to focus on bringing connecting passengers to their own network hubs – typical examples are British Airways (to London Heathrow), Lufthansa (to Frankfurt) and Air France (to Paris Charles de Gaulle) – as opposed to the point-to-point connections that Ryanair and Aer Lingus offer.

   Föremål för prövning i brittisk domstol för tillfället. Mkt spännande case för den som sysslar med sådan juridik.
