Cork US
A transatlantic service would be a massive boost as the new terminal opens. However the travelling public in Cork will sink it fast if they continue to use Shannon flights just to save a few bob.
Unlike their counterparts in Dublin, Cork people are much more willing to fly from other Irish Airports if the price is right.
People who constantly flew with Ryanair rather than Easyjet cannot complain if fares now go back to their pre 2004 levels now that the duopoly has been restored on Cork London.
Watch the Ryanair website carefully in the days and weeks ahead.
