It's not all about loads, though. Yields are what count.
Yep thats what decides if a route continues or even starts these days, thats most definitely one of the reasons why the SkyEurope service went.
ORK based aircraft could operate ORK-LGW-NOC-LGW-ORK
I've always juggled around with this idea it would allow expansion at Cork to maybe 2 or 3 new routes or just allowing extra capacity to current routes, and to be frankly honest I dont see any of the Cork regional routes transferring back to mainline anytime soon.
Aer Lingus
Mobile is to launch its first Cork service. The route which has been chosen is Brussels a further testment to high bookings on the route, I understand it wont be until June or July this year before the service is launched for all Cork routes and the Aer Lingus network as a hole (excluding US Destinations due to Security Reasons).
