@Oliver__Clark IAG accelerated its plans for Level when Norwegian announced its own Barcelona long-haul plans says strategy head Robert Boyle #ftedublin.

@Oliver__Clark Ryanair will reach its limit and ‘tap out’ when it has 40% of European short haul market or 350ml pax a yr  says Michael O’Leary #FTEDublin.

@WandrMe Asked “would you distribute Level flights via Ryanair?” IAG declines to answer, “but not an immediate no.” #fteDublin.

@WandrMe IAG says it soon will be trialing the biometric boarding that @JetBlue just introduced in BOS. #PaxEx #fteDublin.

@WandrMe Only one new route for Ryanair at @DublinAirport this year. MOL says once the airport adds incentives it’ll grow more. #fteDublin #paxex.  

@WandrMe “Our pax are willingness to pay more than on ULCCs for better #PaxEx. But not much more.” #Ancillary/product on Iberia Express. #fteDublin.
