My understanding is that there is but one stand at Cork available for widebody aircraft parking.
Is this correct?
In the first year the Munster rugby team qualified for the Heinken Cup Final at one point there were two 747-200s on the ground together briefly yet in the year the Corsair 747-400 came to Cork she, as I understand it, was not able to land until a Monarch A300-600 or a 767 departed.
Is this correct and if so what happened in the mean time that a widebodied aeroplane may, possibly, not be on the ground as another widebody?
How was such a decision decided upon and by whose authority - the Dublin Airport Authority, the Cork Airport Authority? What contribution, if any, did the Irish Aviation Authority have on the decision?
In a sense it is easy to see why Jack1985 is so galled by these questions - it is rather pedantic all right though on the whole still relevant. Cork Airport now competes with an even freer to operate Shannon Airport with it's own version of independence not to mention the midnight busses to Dublin Airport which are quite likely taking from the potential of Cork Airport's own catchment area.
