The pilots tend more to lurk than to post on this forum as far as I can make out. I am sure there are posts by pilots, of course, but as for new routes sometimes pilots may not be amongst the first to hear of such interestings titbits of news. Down the years there have been numerous queries on Cork's runway, low visibility procedures etc and from the good quality of many of the replies some of the responses must have been from our pilot friends.
Good to see the Aer Lingus Regional services begin over the course of the past few days with the EI liveried ATR-72s. A welcome sight to have Glasgow back in the Cork fold with a six weekly ATR-72 service and good to have on board as well the new double daily service by EI from Gatwick. Reassuring also to look out on the restored Lisbon flight which restarted yesterday for the summer season. Hope the routes thrive as they should do. Just wish that FR would have stayed at three daily on Stansted for the summer though you cant have everything, can you?
Malev have returned to Dublin. Still fell pretty sure Cork could salvage something on a Budapest service if the matter could be suitably handled, be it by Malev or Wizz Air.
