Yes cork 35/17 runway is approx 100m longer than bristols main runway. This would rule out the runway length being a problem at all for CO's 757.
From Nov 2006 there shouldn't be a problem at all with shannon as the stopover will offically be phased out?
So it really it boils down to the weather at cork, and it would appear that all of CO pilots doing TA flights would be certified to fly CAT II approaches. Also could they schedule the flight to arrive in at 11 am opposed to an early morning arrival, it seems that the fog usually is dissiapted by early afternoon??
Neidin , any other news about TA carriers , I would love to know what AA's plans are for expansion?
