I disagree
. I doubt any passengers from the environs of shannon...i.e.Clare,Limerick,Nth Tipp e.t.c who wish to take an early morning flight to AMS to connect to KLM's flights to the far East (HongKong,Beijing e.t.c) would fancy having to trek to cork when they would prefer to be able to use the large international airport on their doorstep. While Heathrow is always an option for connecting to longhaul flights, why cant we have the option of another major european hub?
Even a Small RJ service would allow passengers from the shannon catchment area the ability to use their local airport for connecting to KLM's network and citybreaks.
