Just making the point that Dublin will be faster to get to from next year and it won't help trying to secure a US carrier which I can't see happening anyway. As Ryan said if its cheaper to fly from Dublin then people will regardless of the route. SNN-US market is now very seasonal compared to 2006/7 and how will Cork sustain a year round service to the US if SNN can just about keep EWR. ORK need to get FRA from EI, BUD from W6/FR and possibly PRG from W6 which would greatly improve links from the airport.
