IAG said that Aer Lingus is 'more seasonally exposed' than other airlines in the groupAer Lingus is experiencing a “softness” in demand for short-haul business routes, with a particular drop-off in travel between Ireland and Britain, the airline’s chief executive Lynne Embleton said on Friday. Ms Embleton was speaking after International Airlines Group (IAG), which owns Aer Lingus, published its results for the three months to March 31st. “We’re seeing really good strength in short-haul leisure, particularly around the Mediterranean. “We are pleased to see the second runway at Dublin Airport, but what we really need to see is stands and terminal capacity. That’s so important for us to be able to operate, to grow Aer Lingus, but also to grow the Irish economy.
