Lack of service to passengers has to be included here. This time last year there were three daily RJ100 flights from LGW to Cork. Now, this year there are none. I do not believe Cork was a marginal route like the way Shannon might have been. Whom ever came up with the decision to drop Cork was one genius. Does anyone feel there might have been some other influences from the Irish end to come off the route once BA took over, vis a vis, increasing EI's market share Cork - London and streamlining Oneworld connections with BA at LHR?
