How Aer Lingus does on this route
Better or worse than the route itself?
Everyone flying Manchester to Dublin hits the same airspace and the same two airports, so the honest question is not whether the route is busy, it is whether this airline handles it better or worse than the others on it.
On this route Aer Lingus is 3.9 points worse than the other airlines flying it.
Against its own network it is 10.2 points worse than usual: Aer Lingus lands on time 74.1% of the time across all 52,570 of its UK flights a year, against 63.9% here.
In money terms: about 3 flights a month on this route land 3 hours or more late, which is about 1 flight in 140. Everyone on board one of those is owed £220 each, so a full aircraft is a five-figure bill for Aer Lingus.
Other airlines on this route
Same two airports, same 264 km, same £220.
