More Ryanair flight reductions to come at Cork?
Looks like there are yet more headaches on the way for Cork Airport? Take a look at the Ryanair website and check out the schedule for STN-ORK. Sadly, it appears that the FR907/8, the late evening flight is gone off the timetable from first week in June to first week in September. That is bad enough but the situation is even worse if you now bear in mind that it appears that there will be just the one flight on STN-ORK on a Saturday during the same start June to start September timeframe. So on a Saturday down from 4 flights last year to just the one this coming peak summer period! Pretty radical stuff which puts the cutbacks on LPL-ORK into marked perspective. More than 30,000 more seats being lost from Cork. The irony is that the FR907/8 remains on the schedule from September going forward but how long that may last is anyone's guess now. Anyone have any comments on this new even more serious situation?
Let us not lose sight either that Aer Arann seems to be all set to drop Cork - Birmingham from the start of the summer schedule in a few weeks time. Two daily flights except Saturday appear to be gone which works out at about another 1,700 seats lost per week. More serious losses.
I hope yez all enjoyed yer cheap flights to London, lads and lassies, coz it is all over now! However, the Ryanair stance does seems rather bizarre as the real gain this summer on London will be in the Aer Lingus court. The A320 will be too small the way things are going!
