Europe Airpost has been operating at Dublin Airport since 2010 and is the only charter airline that has an aircraft based year-round in Ireland. The scheduled service to Nova Scotia will again operate weekly from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Dublin and then continue to Halifax, Nova Scotia with a 130-seat Boeing 737-700 aircraft.
The route will operate from Paris – Dublin – Halifax, beginning July 9, 2015 and running through until September 11, 2015, boosting Canadian tourism to France and Ireland, and offering a new direct destination in North America for passengers from Dublin Airport.
The new twice weekly route will operate on Mondays and Fridays between May 1, 2015 and September 7, 2015, enabling passengers to enjoy long weekend or week long visits to each destination. The flights will be operated using a Boeing 737-300 configured with 147 seats.
At Routesonline we've decided to take a look back at the news breaking the same week in previous years and revisit it one or two years later to see what’s happened since we released the news.
The agreements cover the leasing of two B737-700s and two B737-800s with respective capacities of 148 and 189 seats. The aircraft will be operated by Air Transat on its Mexico and Caribbean Sun destinations routes and marks the completion of Transat’s narrow-body internalisation plan for winter 2014–2015, begun in July 2013.
