These one off flights from AV8, QF and EK are very welcome.
However, Cork is still losing too many destinations this summer. If we were approaching winter it would be more understandable but as of now it is just crazy.
The reduction of the Manchester flights is vexing. Down from 5 daily flights to just 2 beats me. Was there that much overcapacity over the winter and last summer?
Why are BEE pulling out of BHX-ORK? Very strong loads last summer.
Nice was one of GX's best performing routes last year with up 5 services a week. This summer, nothing. What has been done to attract new business on this route and to Nantes?
There is even a case for a single daily flight to Brussels. The last 3 to 4 weeks of the GX service proved it.
There are also reductions on Heathrow and Stansted. FR have today announced a second daily flight to Farranfore (Kerry.)
Is airport privatisation the answer?
