Difficult to see who would take it on though. I couldn't see EasyJet entering the Irish market again. BA obviously won't. Wizz maybe - they have served Cork previously? Or might Ryanair try a W route from Dublin - you wouldn't put it past them.
The best outcome I suppose would be if the Heathrow route was successful enough that Aer Lingus felt they could operate both Heathrow and Gatwick daily on W routes from Dublin.
Wizz served Cork from Eastern Europe. They never attempted a UK route. Doing so would have been seen to be treading on Ryanair’s toes and they were probably trying to avoid the reaction they got anyway. Ryanair are probably the best prospect of a return to Gatwick.
