@PEdmondAero Walsh: I could see us operating 20 A321LRs in @AerLingus in due course. We’ve ordered 8 and I’m confident those will prove the case for more.
@PEdmondAero Walsh: I think new aircraft like the @Airbus A321LR will transform the industry. @Aerlingus has already identified 10 new points it could serve.
@PEdmondAero Walsh: we debated quite a lot whether the @Aerlingus brand could be the basis of our low-cost long-haul, but brand not strong enough outside IRL/UK/US.
@PEdmondAero Walsh: we are likely to acquire the Monarch slots at @Gatwick_Airport which will give us the opportunity to expand.
@PEdmondAero Walsh: LEVEL is targeting underserved large cities in Europe: Barcelona, Paris, Rome, some German cities, some UK cities.
