Cork QNH 964 mb at 2304 hours! Wind 180 magnetic, 28 knots, Gusting 44 knots at 2308. Anyone know what Cork's lowest pressure has been down the years?
The Ryanair FR133 from Beauvais to snn diverted into Cork around 2240 hours and it looks like there may be another two Ryanairs also diverting in to us here in The Real Capital. The new covered walkways will be getting good use tonight!
Ger Cork, in strong and ideal economic circustances a number of your wish list routes may well work but there is a maked downturn now in the economy and for the time being the first thing is for Cork to hang on to what routes it has. It has been bad enough to lose Budapest, Warsaw in Wroclaw in recent weeks and months. However, there is still scope for some of the types of routes you are suggesting but maybe more so on a seasonal basis rather than year round. A seasonal route to Scandinavia would work to my mind with maybe another to an Italian destination. In the right circumstances I think that Brussels and Madrid could also be revived even if it was just seasonal on just two or three a week. Whether such routes would requalify for start up incentives on a seasonal basis would be in question?
Cork QNH at 2325 is 962 mb!
