Good that there is at last some political follow up to last week's announced plan to to have no airbridges at Cork. Last week's meeting where all this news came to light was attended by Cork Airport's new chairman, Mr Gantely and a number of local public representatives that included no less than six TDs (MPs) and a number of councillors. Mr Gantley gave a talk on recent developments for the airport and would have remained mum about the plan to drop the airbridges except for careful probing by a tuned in politician! Buth think about it! Cork Airport users being downgraded once again to second class passengers and another 50 years of drenchings ahead for Cork Airport passengers? Is Mr Gantley being bossed around by the Dublin Airport Authority? Just whom is calling the shots at Cork Airport? Is it the board of Cork Airport or is it the Dublin Airport Authority?
By the way, EI ORK-MXP gone because loads were poor and it was more profitable to restore a seven days a week daily to Paris CDG. More money in that! Has had nothing to do with the arrival of FR from snn to Bergamo for the coming season. The new EI service ORK-Rome FCO should be much more of a hit.
