Whilst not yet aquiting themselves in much overall glory the Cork Airport Authority's unwillingness to offer Ryanair any incentive support for a proposed ski flight to Turin and this week's bold decision to stand up to Mr O'Leary in the light of the airline's announcement of the pulling of EMA and PIK routes in the face of such outlandish comment against Cork is to be commended and has done more for the credibility of the Cork Airport Authority than anything else has done to date. Isn't it bizarre how things turn out - MO'L pulls two routes from Cork and the capital of the CAA goes up! Yes, Ryanair have won the battle on this one but this has weakened the the company overall in Cork and the day is now look forwarded to when there are no longer any Ryanair aeroplanes left in Cork. May that day come sooner rather than later.
