Others will have grown too but more importantly I reckon GLA is the only
airport on that list without a flight to Paris. Astonishing for an 8m
European airport. Surely this must be rectified soon?

Agreed, I think RYR have a lot to 'blame' here, look at the EDI-DUB route, I
think I'd rather have EIN 3 times a day myself....

So would I. The Aer Lingus service ex-EDI will be practically worthless now
.... no connections, no day-trip possible. I wonder why they didn't just pull
off altogether. Hopefully, they will see the error of their ways.

Well, looks like easyJet are recruiting in Scotland, so hopefully a CDG or
ORY service is on the horizon. I agree that the absence of a daily direct
Paris service from GLA is one of the biggest anomalies in Scottish aviation.

the "Ryanair effect" seems to have left the GLA-DUB frequencies |
mysteriously unaffected.

Maybe the 'PIKites' are asking about the 'GLA effect?'
