JetMagic were very dissappointed with the take up on the ORK - LCY route (which initailly surprised me). They also said that a lot of heavy weight corporates in the Cork area only booked EI into LHR even though LCY was available. Having spoken to Aer Arann in the past I do not feel they are interested in the route either unfortunately (this obviously may change). I think you might see RE look at routes to Brittany and France out of ORK. I know the JM service to Nantes was one of their best performers along with BHD. I think the UK service Cork needs at the moment is NCL. As we know from Dublin when Ryanair began a NCL service, Durham Tees Valley felt the impact. I can only see the new bmibaby service lasting until someone starts NCL.
