Thats great news. All we need now is a taxiway. During the morning in particular, having to taxi down the runway can create delays when a number of planes want to take off/land at the same time
Should virtually eliminate diversions for EI and FR but will have a neglible effect on many of the other carriers including one low-cost that refuses to carry out CAT 2 approaches at Cork.
We may still have diversions due to crosswinds because of the imbicile who decided to build Cork's runway at right angles to the prevailing winds. Is the low cost airline you mention BMI Baby? I'm guessing because they seem to have more diversions than any other airline, even Aer Arann.
