Re: CORK
Let's face facts, an airport on the side of a hill with no runway expansion capacity that's enveloped in fog half the time with a TA capacity of a 757 (and that's even at a push)with one air-bridge, against a 3200 m runway with excellent infrastucture that will soon be an hours drive from Cork City when roadworks and the Shannon tunnel are completed, that's in the middle of the western seaboard(therefore a far bigger TA catchment area than Cork) and the major scenic areas of Ireland. If only the Shannon lobby group could get up off their arses and compete without resting on their stop over laurels they could practically close Cork down. Cork, on their own bats, have done an excellent job on the development of their european network and fair play, but trying to compete against Shannon as a TA base, it's a no brainer.
