Ork 2010
Not sure its going to be that good a new year.
DUB - reduced from 7 flts per day to 4 flts per day - wed and sun particularly hit with two flts per day only and the first flt of the day from ORK to DUB is at 1300
BHD - reduced to one flt per day
EMA/MAN - bmibaby withdrawn
LHR - one flt withdrawn
Risk that ORK turns into bucket and spade airport with plenty of action during the summer months but severe reduction in flts during winter.
It appears that Aer Arann, having signed the franchise agreement with EI, are downgrading their own services from ORK. This is disappointing as RE were proactive in developing routes from ORK e.g. west coast of France, jersey, south coast of England and operate an aircraft much more suited to serve Cork's market with double daily returns more likely. Now they are not even basing an aircraft in ORK.
