Remember the geniuses that designed Cork Airport decreed that the main runway should run at right angles to the prevailing winds. That is why tens of thousands of passengers have been diverted over the last 45 winters. 25/07 needs to be extended but I for one won't be holding my breath!
Thanks for the info. I thought it was odd alright when no other flights were diverted from Dublin. This has been just one of many days of diversions. How many more are to come over the next month?? Extending 25/07 will be tricky. It is as close to the Kinsale road as possible at one end, and theres another road at the other end. Unless you build a tunnel under the runway like there is at Amsterdam.
