Ryan2000 - how can it be that Cork numbers didn't stack up for TK - didn't you know that its all down to the DAA, Shannon Airport, Irish Aviation Authority and the masons that it was stolen from Cork in favour of Dublin?
Jack, you seem to think that the DAA are a terrible organization - lucky for you that your CV was not accepted - what a break for you can I say.
Luxembourg, Salzburg and Friedrichshafen cover the immense Turkish diaspora in the greater German speaking area of mainland Europe. Valencia and Seville are all the size of Dublin - however with the loads to MAD and BCN being weak (Great article Charlie - good find!), perhaps these will wait. With Dublin having amongst the highest load factors, you can see why they would want to add extra frequencies there.
Oh, and Jack - you missed the second part of my comments on the new terminal
(and yes, the same Beal Bochts on this thread continue to bleat about the cost of the terminal, and at the same time demand air bridges none of the airlines want!)
