Im not completelly sure but I would think that 35 would need CAT II approaches at some point. When was CAT II initially installed for 17 ??
They are aiming for a 1 in 4 stop over in shannon for nov of next year. So that could easily include cork. So is CAA activiely promoting cork to US airlines? I hear that shannon will be extensively advertising itself (shannon) in the US. Is Cork going to be trying to do the same in the US. Next nov should be a good start for cork. The terminal should be well done and at least one airbridge in place. AA or CO are the real contenders I am really interested to see what will happen there.
