Right, Faire D'Income, out with it then and enlighten us about the installation and operation of CATIII ILS equipment. If Cork is unable to have a CATIII ILS aid please outline in detail as to why so because. Who knows, your expert opinion may be more impartial than the DAA or IAA whose opinions on the subject I would be a little slow to take at face value.
Historically, Cork must have one of the highest diversion rates of any airport in Ireland and the UK and you would think that everything technically possible would be done to rectify the situation within reason of the cost.
Finally, how many times have you been on the receiving end of diversions from Cork either as a lofty aircrewmember or as a passenger?
And what about the Cork and FR 737 rumor? The sole Cork aircraft at the moment is paying full wallop for all those four daily landings from Dublin and the one from Gatwick. A tidy sum for the cash strapped Cork office of the DAA!
