Well, let us hope the FR907/8 stays with us in Cork in some fashion for the summer. Wonder what news if any Ryanair has in store for Cork in the coming days? It is hard not to expect a reaction by Ryanair to the Aer Lingus Gatwick route in some way but talk of a second Cork aeroplane or even a third aircraft seems almost bizarre. Whilst original new routes would clearly be welcome the mention of Faro, Alicante & Girona to Cork would surely mark the start of something a little more dubious putting the future of Cork Airport in some doubt and along with that the future of the Aer Lingus presence at Cork. That may be the plan in the first place, of course.

These rumors have at least put Cork back up in the map for a while!

It will be interesting for a few days to watch this space and if they were to start Madrid and Budapest I would be jumping around the garden like in the Erin soup ad!
