of course thats totally gone know by the day SNN is loosing its catchment area as more and more passengers are choosing to fly from ORK or NOC even further a field as DUB. Although i have to say when i flew ORK to FAO ret. in August the load factor outbound was in excess of 70% and just over i'd say 85% on the inbound, its clear the removal of FAO at SNN was a factor in increased pax numbers from ORK to FAO (FR operated a service too from ORK to FAO) maybe this is why EI increased flights from Cork to Faro next summer.
Although this winter should see ORK-CDG improve yields further and maybe just give a green light to EI to increase it to 10w or maybe ever 14w ''double daily''
This is what FR is acheiving with its cut throwth approach to the SAA even though , they'd be best friends again if EI was rolling out CDG if you get me.
