Well Done Cork
Management and staff at Cork must be complimented for the way they handled the massive influx of visitors for the weekend. A total of 9 widebody flights operated. There is also evidence in recent weeks that the negative attitude towards Corporate Jets and General Aviation is changing.
Has it finally hit home that forcing aircraft to park at Kerry and Shannon when there are stands free at Cork results in a loss of revenue and a lack of confidence in the airport by investors and visitors.
Closing Runway 25/07 was also a help as this runway is no longer of any use to commercial operations with the exception of Aer Arann and even they rarely use it.
