Last time FR came crawling back from KIR IIRC.
Very true, I'd forgotten about the disaster that was Kerry-Liverpool. They didn't seem to mind about the high charges when they moved the flights back to Cork. Cork does have a good variety of carriers to the UK, weren't there also rumours of Flybe doing Norwich next Summer?
If there was a link to a Star Alliance hub things would be great. SkyTeam is well represented as is oneworld, with two airports each (AMS & CDG, LHR & BUD) respectively. A CPH, ZRH or a FRA would be a great boon.
Wouldn't you love to see the look on the Shannon supporters faces if Cork got a Star Alliance connection, they'd really throw their rattle out of the cot and probably demand that Cork turn them away and insist they come to Shannon!!!!! I could be wrong but didn't Swiss go to Zurich from Cork a few summers ago?
As an aside was anyone on the EI729 MAN-ORK on the second of Nov
What were the loads like on the flights?
