No matter what aircraft TK use they only accept bookings for the A320 so counting an A321 aircraft when an A320 is scheduled isn't correct.
Turkish are not Emirates so compare like with like. Take Emirates and Etihad. EK increase aircraft on DUB rotue and EY increased Freq on DUB route.
I TK were so intrested in Cork they would open a route if they felt it could work. The DAA are not going to stop an airline opening a route. They may of got an offer at DUB but at the end of the day if Cork was going to make them money they would open a route.
Lets say BA come to Cork in 2013, gives Aer Lingus the excuse to pull the 4 slots used at ORK and move to DUB. BA then leave Cork a year or two and Cork is left with no LHR service oh wait that will be the DAA's fault.
Reading today in the Irish Times that Wizz said there LF fell below 70 from 80 since the FR routes started so if anyone is driving airlines away from Cork its Ryanair and not the DAA.
