Well, yes, top marks to the design team and builders as it does certainly appear that the new terminal at Cork looks very smartly finished. There is a high price and the terminal is yet to be paid for so let us hope the outcome of the current debate on costs will be what is hoped for because the way things are going Cork Airport is going to need pots of luck to get ahead in the next few years.
This year Cork Airport's business will be slowly bled away in the months ahead compared to last summer with flight cutbacks to Liverpool, Stansted, Birmingham, Manchester and at the same time Shannon struts ahead with today's announcements from Ryanair of yet more new routes to France, Portugal, Italy and Poland.
This is stiff competition for Cork Airport and the top executives up there on the hill badly need a wake up call on this matter. Get out there and start talking to your airline customers fast and be sweet about it too before they all disappear and the place is left with little or nothing.
It is time for the Cork Airport Authority to 5h!t or get off the pot! It is certainly not yet the time for Cork Airport to rest on it's laurel of a new terminal.
