Cork flights to US
I have to agree with Aeroskid I think a daily 757 operation on the atlantic from Cork could do well. There is alot of activity on the atlantic by american companies using 757, especially Continental. Many of the routes that they have launched were to routes that were previously unavailable eg Bristol and Belfast to Newark.
However, It would be very interesting to know what the volume of traffic is originating in Cork heading to Eg BOS,JFK, ORD, EWR and connecting at LHR or AMS, CDG or DUB. Perhaps the intending passengers may well travel to SNN to catch flights.
In any case, I would like to see AerLingus do the Cork US run if it happened, As the interline business could be driven with their low fares? But I am not sure if the A330-200 with full load could take off? I know big aircfaft can land there but with performance restrictions. Does anyone know if A330 can do it with full load ?
