Yes, a considerable milestone indeed for Cork. Let us all hope it works out and that at least a few flights come off as a result. I would say a huge amount of work went in to secure this achievement and a big congratulations to all concerned on both sides of the Atlantic at Cork and New York.
Of course, the doubting Tom that I am I will believe it when the 757 not only touches down from JFK but when she is again airbourne out of Cork heading for 15 West with her oceanic clearance and track ID!
If all goes pretty well the day cannot be too far off when Cork will have a scheduled service to New York? Bearing in mind Cork's maritime past there is plenty of precedent there for passenger services across to New York only now it should be of the airbourne variety!
Bristol, Cardiff taken note!
