Ms Lynne Embleton:

I have no shortage of aircraft right now so there is no impact on Dublin with the Manchester services. I do not believe there will be any negative impact. We still have a strategic desire to develop the Dublin hub. I see it as a positive for the airline as it gets the Aer Lingus brand a wider footprint. It gives more choice, for example, to US customers who want to fly Aer Lingus. I see it as a positive and not a conflict.
