Yes, guess it is very much a long shot to see easyJet in Cork again but you can never say never. One aeroplane with the right kind of local branding and headed up by the right hometown personality and it could work for easyJet. A key to doing business in Cork in my opinion. This idea has so far been lost on by the bigwigs in FR due to their preoccupation with their big snn base and their Dublin HQ.

Would love to know what happened to get Gatwick from Cork back on line from July? Very welcome decision from Ryanair, of course and if anything they might restore the 2nd daily flight whilst they are at it even if it was just for the summer. I might not be the smartest at assessing the yields of this or that flight but 160 or 170 load on a Gatwick flight got to be a whole lot better than a 60/70 load on a Dublin?

Then again, what do I know!?
