Aer Lingus
This site visit will give you a "behind the scenes" look at the ground operations of Aer Lingus (the national airline of Ireland) at Dublin Airport. The airline operates 43 aircraft and carries on average 10 million passengers per annum across 92 routes to Europe and USA. Aer Lingus also provides cargo transportation services to the UK, Continental Europe and the USA.
Aer Lingus has positioned itself as a 'value carrier' on the basis that the pure low cost and low fares model is not sustainable while a full service model would not be viable in serving its key markets. The fundamental elements of this revised strategic approach included better matching of capacity to demand (involving reduction of long-haul capacity and reductions in capacity on over-served short-haul routes), a renewed focus on generating revenue per seat rather than simple maximisation of load factor as well as more emphasis on partnerships and connectivity (e.g. United, Jet Blue, Etihad) to deliver on its primary mission of connecting Ireland with the world.
