Aer Arann as the way forward for the BMW region?

Here’s an interesting profile from the Financial Times a few days ago of Padraig O’Ceidigh, now the chairman but at one time the hands-on businessman who developed Aer Arann out of its island service base into a decent sized regional point-to-point carrier. It’s not clear whether this is the right model for Shannon, where long-haul connectivity is the core issue. Point-to-point from the west risks being a service for emigrants and tourists, not business. Nonetheless, given the success of Aer Arann, it will likely be cited in this big report Brian Cowen promised is coming soon. Incidentally, in the small world of Irish politics, O’Ceidigh developed the current incarnation of the airline with Tim Kilroe — one of the attendees at Bertie’s fabled Manchester nixer.
