Is today the busiest day for the number of flights to arr and dept at Ire West Knock in its history
airnoc, I think you might be right, it certainly is close to the busiest in terms of aircraft movements! There were 3 Lourdes flights showing on the dep board, 3 to London and the rest of the UK flights! It's really great to see it!

Aer Lingus, not so sure that they are nearly bust, in the past when a crisis occured at Aer Lingus they usually needed an instant bail out. They will survive one way or the other and they have some cash in the bank (and yes b4 everybody advises the rate at which it has declined).

When Knock did open it was certainly questionable if a 737 sized aircraft could be sustained on flights to say London, but the Ireland of today is a different place and air traffic is so much more popular now than it was then thanks to airlines like Ryanair!
