FR media event
Rumours rampant at Cork today. The fact that nobody is sure what the Media Event is about sounds ominous for those who don't want to see a Ryanair dominance at Cork.
If it was to announce new routes and avail of the route support incentives the chances are the airport people would know what's happening.
Of course Aerlingus can't complain if FR up the frequency on ORK LGW as it was they who decided to go head to head with them on that route three weeks ago EI will have to subsidise the airport charges if they are to touch FR on price on that route.
Any move to start more UKP routes such as BRS, EDI or PIK will blow the RE/EI alliance out of the water very quickly.
