Aer Lingus (EI, Dublin International) has started to operate its services from Belfast Intl and London Gatwick under the air operator certificate of Astraeus (5W/London Gatwick) and has announced plans to apply for an own UK operating license. It is unclear whether this plan is still current given its decision to cut back its London Gatwick base significantly. Aer Lingus will give up its routes from London Gatwick to Lanzarote on February 13, to Faro and Tenerife Sur on February 21, to Munich and Zurich on February 24, to Bucharest Otopeni and Vienna on March 6 and to Eindhoven, Vilnius and Warsaw on March 27. It will however launch twice daily A320-200 service from Cork to London Gatwick on March 6 and also retain its Gatwick routes to Dublin, Knock and Malaga. Aer Lingus is reportedly considering selling four A320-200s, three A321-200s to raise funds for its restructuring plan that also includes deferring deliveries of the two A320-200s on order for fall 2010 by six months. ,
