Looking back on it now from this remove I would like to think that easyJet's yield on the LGW-ORK was fairly rewarding from the beginning at least until whn FR muscled themselves on to the route in autum of the same year. I feel that Cork Airport has easyJet to thank for having a Gatwick link today eventhough they withdrew and let it with Ryanair. It may be argued that Cork would have been waiting many a long day for Ryanair to get off it's backside to put an aeroplane into Cork without easyJet's decision to come to Cork.
The memories of that first spring and summer when easyJet served Cork are recalled as being among the best of times at Cork Airport.
Then Ryanair arrived.
