Cork airport
I'm just curious to know if there is any sort of protocol at airports regarding who gets de-iced first, who gets to park where, and who gets to depart first, etc?
I only ask because Cork airport had some bad weather last Friday morning, and the passengers of the Malev flight to Budapest had to wait nearly three hours to leave as they were apparently left at the back of the de-icing queue, despite having quite an early time for departure.
I also regularly see the Irish airlines parked directly outside the terminal whilst various foreign aircraft are left miles away, meaning a very long walk for the passengers (as there are no buses) to and from the aircraft. In the case of the Malev flight the boarding passengers were soaked by near horizontal sleet/snow.
Edit: Please do not start airport threads when one already exists. I am merging this post to the CORK airport thread.
