This incident happened almost three years ago. Time to end the stand off. Now that EI are edging back towards away from a purely low cost model, surely it would make sense for airbridges to be used at least on code share services from ORK to LHR and AMS. As far as I know there is just a token charge for using the airbridge at Cork. On another subject passengers traffic is down 11 percent for 2010 so far this year at ORK. This follows a decline of 16 per cent in 2009.
