Guys I think you'll find that Belfast with strong, established connections to Canada, no air tax on t/Atlantic and many northern passengers already forming a core of the business on other DUB Canada services is a much stronger candidate for a new Westjet op than either Ork or SNN.
Doubt it Larry, there's a thing called tax which from Northern Ireland and the UK is now actually higher per departing and arriving passengers (even though APD on Long-Haul from NI has been abolished). Evidence of obvious NI public use of DUB services to counteract the higher taxes is also obvious, and also if you believe the Independent is in the fortunate position of such a source of information (ORK, SNN new route rumours) you're mistaken, they were given that information in order to try and play SNN and ORK off each other resulting in further operational advantages, maybe this time the DAA can place Cork in an even better one.
