Problem for Cork is that Ryanairs' flights to Bergamo, Girona and Palma are bookable only from June to August as distinct from March to October inclusive in 2013. While much is being made of Aer Arann's new route to Newcastle, there is no mention of Jet 2's withdrawal from the same route.
There are also other significant gaps in the schedules such as the lack of any Charter flights to the Canaries until May and of course there is the Wizzair factor which will surely impact on the traffic for the early part of the year.
While I understand the need for airports to sound upbeat and put on a brave face going into a new year, I certainly wouldn't put more than €20 on Cork achieving growth in 2014.
