Cardiff to Cork Service
After a discussion on another forum i thought i would ask the thoughts of the members of pprune.
Who is going to step in an pick up the Cardiff to Cork service?
There are two airlines in my opinion that could step in.
Bmibaby could operate 1 x Daily Cardiff - Cork which would be an ideal short sectored route and mean a 3rd aircraft base is more likely.
Manx2.com could also a more business friendly 3 x Daily service to Cork. With the size of the Manx2.com aircraft there shouldn't be a reason why Manx2.com can't operate a shuttle service back and forth ORK with 4 - 5 flights a day. This would mean that a aircraft would either need to be based at Cardiff or Cork.
I don't believe Flybe could provide the service until it has a base at either Cardiff. The reason being is that for some reason Flybe doesn't have any flights operating into Cork from any of it's bases.
