Aer Lingus has a hub at Dublin Airport. Connecting the US to EUROPE and vice versa. The long haul services support the short haul services and vice versa and Dublin is where their short haul services and long services meet.
so establishing anything in Cork would seem counter to the strategy that is currently at work. As another poster described, the only conditions under which Aer Lingus would do Cork US would be if another carrier came into that market and impacted its Dublin and Shannon services greatly.
Norwegian are the pioneers here, argueably they are the wrong carrier for this market. Though good job for ORK securing the route. Cork would need a flight to a well connected gateway with adequate connections to cover North America. Norwegian does not provide such a service. Belfast has the same challenge....
