I agree with CCR. I am from Cork myself and did all of my flight training there but come on, this same old crap about "anywhere but Cork". An A330 at max landing weight needs about 1700 meters of runway, Cork is around 2100 meters. If you land at the 1000 foot markers which you would when using the ILS, Cork has only 1800 meters. Now factor in a wet or icy runway with anything but a good braking action reported and you can see for yourself it is fairly tight even if the flight was not full. Why risk this when Belfast and Prestwick have 2800 and 2900 meters? I think a few people here need to study ATPL performance before posting the same repetitive comments again
