I've seen a few ads for Prague and Ibiza around the clare Limerick area I'm surprised there are no big newspaper adds for it in the last week there has been a lot of ads for Shannon routes you would think daa would have a bigger budget
The sooner they are released from the DAA the better, I think its even more important than the debt.

Just seen an advertisement of the Cork to Prague route. Entirely funded by CSA Czech airlines and Prague airport. Very disgraceful, the fact that they had to advertise the route themselves is enough for them to say f*** this we are wanted more elsewhere.

With several flights cancelled already, I wouldn't be betting the farm on this particular route thriving.....
Picture the scene, nice few days in Prague, food, culture, beers, etc.
Money tight/nearly gone down to last hundred or two CZK Czech Crowns.
Taxi to ruzhyne airport, look at departures board......what? Cancelled?
96 fm will have a field day.......
Stranded in Prague....

Now that FlyBe are flying to Cork, hope the DAA encourage them to consider flights from London City to Cork like they already do to Belfast.
Cityjet and BA are two other possible options for a route that Ryanair can`t fly!

There's generally substantial enough reductions in August
Bordeaux, Girona and Reus cease
Stansted goes from 3x a day to 2x a day on some days
Malaga goes from 4x weekly to 2x weekly
Faro goes from 4x weekly to 3x weekly
Wroclaw goes from 3x weekly to 2x weekly
Also Pisa operates with a Pisa-based aircraft rather than a Cork-based one
As Gatwick goes back up to daily in September (and Stansted goes to 3x daily), the best guess would have to be that there's a better yield to be had from keeping one of the sun routes operating in that period.
I could see some eye-watering prices to London emerging from this.

It's 56pw to 52 pw as Stansted is also losing some rotations
That is a 7% decrease for the month.
In February, nobody would notice, but August has one of the strongest demands on Cork-London, particularly point-to-point, which is what Ryanair will take out. It's school holidays in both Ireland and the UK and the prime time for Irish families living in the UK to come home with the kids.

Then for Ryanair the choice is easy. Fly someone to London (360 miles) for 25 euros or Carcassonne (780 miles) for 136 euros (plus probably with baggage and start/end of holiday glass of wine on flight)...

I never doubted they would make more money on those routes. In fact, I even said
All I'm saying is that if you combine a reduction in capacity to London and a month with one of the strongest demands that it's a recipe for fares to go up.
the best guess would have to be that there's a better yield to be had from keeping one of the sun routes operating in that period.

EI-DVM
Anyone know how long EI-DVM is scheduled to stay in cork and ifs its due to change out soon?
Am I wrong but wasn't the demand on Rome high why won't this route be re-considered by Aer lingus. I think there are profitable routes out there that FlyBE could definitely look at with the aircraft they have, but would it work. Surely a route in Denmark/Norway/Sweden could also work Norwegian would be a target in my eyes also but heres to dreaming!!

With a worse lack of advertising than the Prague route that was delayed by 4 weeks, I'd imagine booking for June are muck. July and August will pick up, and by September they may have gained a little publicity just in time for the 2pw service.

Considering that Aer Lingus already fly DUB-DUS without a codeshare with Air Berlin, I doubt the cork service (if it happens, fingers crossed) would either.
