Servisair have been riding on their luck in recent relativelly mild winters. The reality is that Cork is not equiped to deal with heavy frost and God Help us if there is a heavy snowfall.
On the last occasioin the airport authorities made no effort to clear the runway simply because the staff were on Christmas Holidays and in any event they have no snowploughs apart from a tractor with a glorified shovel attached to it.
Cork will be closed for indefinitely if we have a Winter Freeze up and on the law of averages we're due one.
