Ryan2000
Easyjet's decision is very disappointing. However there is nothing the board could do to stop Ryanair from going head to head with them on Gatwick.
At present Cork will have 10 return flights per day to London for Winter 2006/07 as against 12 for 2005/06. This in itself should not have a major impact. However if Ryanair row back on their plans to operate 3 per day to both Gatwick and Stansted, the shining terminal on the hill could be handling less traffic than the old terminal before the year is out.
Early morning flights to Poland etc won't make up the difference.
