Cork to get CAT3A - that is great news if confirmed! A long time overdue but will be very welcome. It's installation should go some way to prove all the Rad Alt dip issue on the final phase of the approach before touchdown to runway 17 was hardly much more than a convenient excuse for inaction for many years now from parties with a bias for whatever reasons against Cork.

As for new routes - well there is the fairly recent BTS, PIK, EMA and the seasonal Carcassone to come from FR and some other new French routes from RE and the above mentioned Plymouth. All very welcome of course but what a blow to lose out on both Budapest and Warsaw in particular along with Wroclaw.

Am also hearing that there appears to be one less IT this summer - Zakynthos. Anyone know more as to confirmation? A pity if so as I would have liked to have made a visit.
