I think EasyJet would be a success at Cork. The 319 has 156 seats and would be easier fill than the 189 seats on a FR. I believe that easy did not leave cork because of ryanair particularly, I am sure they did not help, I just think they had bigger fish to fry out of LGW. I dont think they were getting a great deal from the Cork Airport Authority.
I think with the right deal Easy may re-appear in eire again, after all they have 200 odd aircraft to put somewhere in the next decade!
I think it would be good for cork and good for easy. Fingers crossed. These are obviously just my humble thoughts and opinions, plus a little bit of wishful thinking on my part.
We will see I guess.
For what its worth I think that Easy are in a different league to ryanair from a customer and employee point of view.
Just wondering how Aer Arann are doing in Cork at the moment. When are their new arcraft arriving?
Just for info only 737 bases are Belfast, Newcastle and Luton. cheers
