De Paper is running a story today that Mr Michael Cawley, Ryanair is due to meet up with Cork TDs on Thursday in order to promote Ryanair's bid to use the old terminal at Cork to bring some more business to the airport.
So, why not let FR use the old terminal now? The much hoped for 5th EI Airbus at Cork for next summer looks like it is gone for a Burton and if FR can bring some growth to Cork Airport in 2007 why not let 'em because it is slowly beginning to look like there will not be a whole lot else happening or are there still hopes for other new business?
Then again, Ryanair could still avail of fairly generous incentives from Cork by using the new terminal if they began a series of brand new routes and use of the old one would as a result be immaterial? Why the fixation on Ryanair's wanting to use the old terminal? Attention seeking exercise?
Interesting development all the same.
