Apologies but western europe is probably a more apt description. Now it was last July that I heard this so perhaps they've changed their mind.
I presume its Frankfurt you're referring to. That rumours been going around for ages. I've had a look at the summer timetable for the Cork based aircraft and its absolutely jammers with the maximum possible utilisation out of the 4 aircraft (as the summer timetable always is). Berlin has been dropped but they've been able to squeeze 2 flights (to Birmingham and Manchester) for every 1 former Berlin flight. This means that theres no room to launch any new routes without either axing a current route, or operating it using an aircraft from a different base on a W pattern.
