No have not heard of the evening AMS service being re-instated (as yet anyway).
As far as Ryanair are concerned, Tom, i agree that the runway is too short and should be lengthened by at least another 500 mtrs. However, I dont see the relevance of of Michael O Learys comment as far as his own operations are concerned. A look at quite a few of their destimations and you will notice that the runways there are indeed shorter than Corks. Indeed to fly from Cork to ANY of their existing continental destinations, the runway here is more than sufficient. So whats he getting at ??? Mr O Leary from day one has always been anti Cork, yet I cannot understand why. Needless to say I dont expect to be bringing you any good news about Ryanair and their Cork ops.
The statement by him that he will "rescue Shannon" should be taken with caution. Look what he did to Shannon with the Hahn flights when he fell out with them.
