Yet more headaches on the horizon for Cork Airport?
Drainage work has begun on the grass abeam the TNT facility at Cork so there is no access from the main ramp to taxiway Alpha to runway 17. Looks like CATII ILS to runway 17 will be out of action again?
Meanwhile, it was lashing out of the heavens last Sunday night as the Aviajet/Air Atlanta A310 on Stand 13 disembarked her pilgrim passengers from Lourdes. What a welcome home. The poor pax must have been drenched to the skin.
Later the same evening the FR907 arrived quite late after 11 pm and was parked on Stand 5. The quickly following EI725 had to wait for some time on a taxiway before getting the same stand as her two sisterships were parked for the night on Stands 6, 7 and the Malev on Stand 8. Just what you need so late at night when everyone is getting tired.
Elsewhere, the dumbing down continues. FR did not operate the 905/6 yesterday and she is not listed either for 18th and 19th October and the now infamous FR903/4 is not listed for the four Wednesdays from 9th November. Mind you, snn flights to STN are also being affected with some cancellations.
Can anyone give details when Ryanair last cancelled any Cork flights? Seems to me that Cork pax are being softened up for LGW?
