If today's Irish Examiner story is anything to go by there were some lively scenes at Cork last evening after Ryanair cancelled the service to Alicante due to the French ATC strike. Not Ryanair's fault, of course, but if they are to have an increased summer time presence at Cork in the years ahead they may need to have their own local representative there to handle such matters rather than this kind of stuff being dumped on handling companies and airport staff and passengers being told to go to the company's website to book another flight.
Anyway, anyone have any idea how FR are doing on their summer routes ex Cork to France and Spain? Some of my family members were on four ORK-STN-ORK-STN flights in the last week - only one had a load anywhere near full so I am in agreement they should be looking at a small sub-fleet of airframes in the 100-130 seater size for what Ryanair1 calls domestic and short hop sectors.
