Wasn`t commenting on the incident at all but speaking in general on Cork`s relatively short runways. Indeed it isn`t the only incident that occurred in Cork due to strong gusty crosswinds in recent decades.
A modest increase in the length of the north south runway would make Cork more attractive for future transatlantic operations .
A modest increase in length of the short westerly runway would also be very welcome from a safety point of view than landing on the north south runway in a howling crosswind which I have done on many an occasion.
Expect neither developments to occur whilst Cork is run by the Dublin Airport Authority.
