Cork had some low cloud early last Saturday afternoon with RVRs down to 250 metres. Two bmi baby flights from Birmingham and Manchester ended up diverting to Shannon along with the EI825 from Nice and the final Aer Arann flight of the season from Jersey also diverted to Kerry. More much needed lost revenue for Cork amid the guffaws of derision from the airport in the midwest.
Also, the Malev winter schedule begins early this year. There are no more Friday evening flights from Budapest to Cork as the last one for this season was flown last Friday, 15th September with a Fokker 70. The schedule will now be arrivals into Cork on Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays and departures for Budapest on Fridays, Mondays and Tuesdays.
