It's not me that caused American Airlines, Air Canada, Royal Jordanian, PIA, Virgin Express, Aeroflot, Hapag Lyod Express, Flybe, Thompsonfly, British Regional, Aerlingus, (LHR), Easyjet, Aer Arann, Worldairways and Centralwings to withdraw from Shannon over the last decade.
Shannon continues to throw money at airlines in order to grow the traffic but ends up losing the business over time. It's cost base is still far too high. Sooner or later the chickens will come home to roost just like they are at Aerlingus now.
It should concentrate on developing sustainable routes and stop trying to be a cross roads of the aviation world.
Cork would also want to watch its cost base although management there over the years are much more prudent in their approach.
High cost airports and low cost airlines are incompatible.
