Ms Lynne Embleton:

First, I hope that the disruption being experienced in Dublin will be resolved as all parties add resources. This should be a temporary issue. As I look at our aircraft coming into the fleet, they are primarily long-haul aircraft that we are going with. Generally, between 30% to 80% of customers on long-haul flights will be transferring and that is where the hub dynamics really matter. Usually, there is insufficient point-to-point demand to operate a breadth of services. JFK Airport is a good example where point-to-point will justify the filling of a commercial service. Boston is another. However, when one gets beyond those big markets, connecting traffic is needed to fill the aircraft to sustain the service. Typically, a breadth of services is obtained from the hubs because they can draw on the short-haul network to provide enough onward passengers to supplement point-to-point passengers and make a service viable. There will always be a much easier case for going long haul out of a hub than there would be out of another airport. Having said that, every time we get an aircraft in, we will look at where we think we can deploy it profitably. As a result, I would not rule anything out at this point.
