Guys, can we firstly stop entertaining TTT on his ideas of non stop services to the Middle East? How many Airports in Europe with the catchment that Cork has have a non stop service to the Gulf? Perhaps when the 320Neo comes about, then aircraft may have the legs to do a route like this.
Secondly, isn't it great that the airport is full, with 90% loads on new seevices and EI using a more remote stand - a long time since this complaint was heard of.
Thirdly, let's stop running down cork - it's the best regional airport in Europe.
Finally, back to the Tenor - your Taj Mahal comments are four years past mildly humorous. Can't we keep the discussion on Cork, and leave the petty jealousies to boards.ie.
