Heard that Cork have now resorted to turning off the air conditioning at off peak times in order to save money and that the real board i.e (The DAA) will not even allow the CAA to purchase a few new baggage trolley's.

Also the 3m mark is unlikely to be reached but that the CAA will reach the target budgeted for at the start of the year whatever that was.

The huge overheads associated with the new terminal coupled with the anticipated sharp reduction in full paying London flights is putting Cork under serious financial pressure. Others revenue earners such as BMI Regional, Loganair and CSA are withdrawing.

Almost all of the expansion is being carried out by airlines on freebies.

What are the chances of Cork becoming the 1st State airport to be privatised. Where else is it going to get funding for future investment?
