Ryanair are going to base crews and Dublin is likely to go upto five daily. Should be a knockout blow for Aer Arann.
Cork want the five a day and also want a proper Manchester service. Lubeck and Bergamo are being discussed. But FR feel they could fly to anywhere from Cork and make it work.
Cork Airport Authority are finding it impossible to get Dublin to agree to a new deal for Ryanair so they may just ignore Dublin, do a deal and just be damned.
Cork having major HR issues at present but that is another sto.............
