transatlantic at Cork
The first thing that the CAA need to do is to commence serious negotiations with Aerlingus or a US carrier.
Wishing we had transatlantic or aspiring to a service won't make it happen.
I've no doubt that it can be viable but EI or CO will look for substantial marketing support.
Cork is very reluctant to part with finance probably because the board is really only existing in shadow form and the DAA is not prepared to sanction any further debt on top of the massive 163 million expenditure on the new terminal and other landside work.
So unlike Shannon who believe in throwing money at airlines, Cork look for a short term financial return for thier investment and that is not always forthcoming.
