Aer Ryan - I'm a supporter of both airports - ryanair flies 13 routes from knock so obviously there's a significant market there - I seen a presentation on the knock site there 1m living within 90 minutes - despite the Lithuanian route being Kaunas it's quite clear they moved majority of their cork Eastern European stuff up to shannon in a row over charges - both shannon and knock are hugely seasonal aside from the US stuff shannon had no European access till this winter - aer lingus tried Paris before and didn't work - it's clear ryanair have got a very very attractive deal from shannon otherwise they wouldn't be flying to European cities during the winter -€13 to Paris in January - not much profit in that - but good luck to shannon make hay whilst the sun shines what will be very interesting to see is if cork get a similar deal from govt what will Ryanair do then ?? Ps numbers mean nothing it's all about yield and fees and charges - if it wasn't ryanair would never have pulled the routes previously from shannon eg Bristol
