Irish budget carrier Aer Arann would reportedly consider not operating its Liege-Lorient and Liege-Birmingham routes and focusing on the Liege-Luton services.
As a reminder, this is not been confirmed yet by the carrier.
However I have just tried to book one of the Liege-flights and London is the only destination they offer.

Aer Arann to drop two of its three Liege routes?
Moderator: Latest news team
I was in the terminal of LGG yesterday and they made advertising only about london-lutton on the screens ...
And the website talk also only about london : http://www.liegeairport.com
So I guess it's right.
The bad news is that it's still 1 flight a day with bad schedule : useless for business people

Now, who would want to go from Liège to Lorient ??? and even to Birmingham ?
In the past, they have tried to establish a line to London, sometimes with a stop at Ostend, and it didn't work for long...
But, of course, we wish Aer Arann the best ! Although these announcements made without reason don't make them seem very serious.

Very strange story if you asked me. Why, because of this reason.
Air Arann and the airport of LGE send invitations to all the travel agents for a reception on the airport on Thursday 20 April and this to celebrate the three new destinations.
If they will serve only one destination from LGE, I have my doubts on the whole project and the costs they made already.

Well, that's only a very few days to wait then ...
But that's all strange yes.
No doubt that LGG has a very big potential, but not necessary to Birmingham or Lorient ...
airazurxtror, dont forget that this airport has a very good location and a very good infrastructure. Actually, the potential of this airport is much bigger than charleroi when it started, so I guess everyting is possible.

In my opinion this is also very very strange : they still have advertisements published in the regional and national press for the three services.Atlantis wrote:Very strange story if you asked me. Why, because of this reason.

As a reminder the new destinations were announced by the airport authorities while the carrier did not communicate about them. Eventually the advertising campaign was launched.
Yesterday I send an e-mail to the carrier and I will keep you updated.

I think LGG has been cancelled and removed from this website. If I'm wrong, I'm blind.an-148 wrote:here is the link:

Your answer is there.

it's becoming clear that they will fly only to london ... as the official website of LGG says since many days.
I wonder what they will say at the reception thursday.
PS : both lorient and aer arann website are updated
PS2 : Liège to london is fairly cheap, cheaper than any flight from BRU, and cheaper than the eurostar train.

If they cancel two routes, their so-called timetable for the London service will need some updating. I really doubt it can be a success!Acid-drop wrote:I wonder what they will say at the reception thursday.
Is it cheaper than the record €80 return offered on most Eurostar services?Acid-drop wrote:PS2 : Liège to london is fairly cheap, cheaper than any flight from BRU, and cheaper than the eurostar train.
Anyway they cannot beat Eurostar's frequency...
In my opinion they had better cancel the whole operation and come back with a much more planned thing...

Dear Passenger,
Thank you for your email and your interest in Aer Arann. The company have taken a commercial decision to suspend the proposed services from Liege to Lorient and Birmingham, which were due to commence from the 15th May this year. This is due to aircraft capacity restrictions and we do apologise for any inconvenience caused.
The Liege to London Luton service is still in operation and flights are currently available to book online at www.aerarann.com.
If I can be of any further assistance to you in the future please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind Regards
BeN
So they say... But if that were so, they would simply delay it until they got the aircraft they had planned when they initially announced it...Atlantis wrote:Nope, but I presume that this is still going on because the reason to not start three but only one route is due to capacity.
I'm hoping, but I don't think AerAnnan will stay long at LGG...
