Yes, one of the EI A320s has been overnighting on Stand 5 since the new terminal opened and unless EI take up Stand 9T after next week and use the airbridge Malev will get use of the facility. My info is that Cork is not charging for the use of the airbridge at the moment and bmi baby, Jet2, Central Wings are all trying it out. Ryanair and Wizz are the clear no takers at the moment. Hope Cork does get a second airbridge for the whole EI operation as it would tie in nicely with their using of airbridges at most of their destinations ex Cork. Cork passengers deserve no less in our weather.
A bit of sad news is that the Air Atlantique Lockheed L188 Electra will go out tonight for the final time and from next week the DHL service will be replaced by an ATP aircraft. It seems that the Electra was not that much cheaper than the 757 to operate!
Cork Airport and the BAe ATP. A marriage made in heaven!
