Cork's airbridge story was resurrected again today when that now infamous broadcaster, Neill Prendeville, of Cork's 96FM, broached the subject and he had even an elderly lady on the air whom quoted from a reply she had received from, presumably the DAA, saying the airlines were not interested in using airbridges and that using them slows down boarding etc. A reply which conveniently puts the issue back in the airlines's corner. Prendeville was giving out again about the wettings passengers are getting when disembarking from aircraft rear steps and the unwelcome climb of a few flights of stairs to the airport immigration and baggage retrieval areas.
Well, there have been plenty of wettings this summer on Cork's ramp so maybe Prendeville has a point?
