Re: CORK

Back on US soil again today and couldnt but notice that I knew at least 40 people from cork on EI 132 from shannon to boston. I have no doubt that a TA from cork would work. Just to give an example, Continental serves both Glasgow and Edinburgh to Ewr using a 757. These two aiports are merely 42 miles apart. When you consider that cork - shannon is spaced more than this.

Do the government even consider cork for US destinations? how do CAA market themself in this regard?? Would the gov not give cork some backing to entice us carriers?? How about some runway improvements, nav aids and ramp space? this is much more important that the new terminal itself, granted it goes hand in hand. Any pm's appreciated.
