I strongly suspect that 777 was not particularly full
Possibly but going on EK and EY's performance ex-DUB lately, more then likely it was pretty full and crammed with cargo (both of them are making a killing with Cargo ex-DUB).
Agree statements about the RWY, it's never been an issue - Same with that story EI put out before about the A330 taxi limitations using the turnpad on R35, I can clarify that was bull!
Just said I'd point out to people, FR are launching daily service between DUB-CGN from Winter '14, highly likely Germanwings won't take them on next Summer ex-DUB, possible serious opportunity for Cork to win that route, as they serve the west already via NOC.
