Aer Lingus: "Aer Lingus will return to higher capacity growth in 2013 adding one aircraft on the North Atlantic and four short haul aircraft in co-operation with Virgin Atlantic out of London Heathrow. This represents an increase of 5.0% in our available seat kilometres. We will also fly one Airbus A330 aircraft during the next two winter seasons, with an option for a further one, on behalf of a major European tour operator which will improve aircraft utilisation in the low season. We will also continue to invest in our IT infrastructure, enabling Aer Lingus to deliver superior customer service and convenience while driving down overall costs at the same time."
