In passing I recall maybe 15 years ago substantial numbers on business time Dublin-Cork flights; that market seemed to fallen right away, even pre-Covid, as well.
Hi WHBMIn the better times Are Arann used to get good support on an ATR72. The banking and financial crisis which was particularly acute in the Republic of Ireland hit the BHD ORK route hard.
Regarding DUB ORK. This route was once substantial, however a new Dublin Cork motorway renders it unattractive.
