Good to see more capacity at Cork for the winter. Where has the extra capacity come from for the three new winter routes? FAO, LIS and MUC are all additions for the winter.
The Lisbon schedule is now visible, so it looks like we can answer this question. There has been a bit of juggling round and it appears to me that there is also a small frequency increase on Malaga. The loser in all this seems to be Lanzarote, which is currently showing at 1x weekly as long as EI allow future bookings. With the loads and prices charged, that had always looked like a bit of a cash cow, but with the long sectors, it looks like extra flights can be squeezed out of the aircraft by reducing frequency. Plus, Ryanair capacity increases on the route in recent years may have been hurting.

In other news, Newquay will now run to October 6th, so a slightly extended season.
