I read this morning that Aer Lingus are finally abandoning their fuel surcharges, and are also considering restoring some flights between Shannon and Heathrow. I wonder what inspired these moves?
What most surprises me is that up to very recently they were claiming to be locked into expensive futures contracts that justified the surcharges. I wonder what has changed, almost overnight.
It's almost comical - they (Aer Lingus) say we can't allow a Ryanair 'monopoly', but we clearly can't trust an Aer Lingus operating in a competitive environment either.
