Cork needs to improve its connectivity like a double daily to Paris CDG, not Beauvais... if EI won`t do it, I wish CityJet would.
Hard to believe that Lufthansa fly multiple A321 services per day to Dublin but nothing to Cork.
Cork-Frankfurt should be another top priority for the DAA...if Cork airport wasn`t an afterthought for them.
Didn't Aer Lingus want to fly to FRA but passengers didn't and they changed those plans...and operating a struggling BRU route which passengers wanted but don't seem to be making great use of it!
Anyway FRA/MUC have very limited capacity and to be honest COrk will not be top priority, just look at their networks from these airports.
Best which can be hoped for would be a Germanwings connection to DUS or CGN.
As for CDG, WX would fail like at SNN.
Just look at how successful SNN is free, what have they attracted bar Ryanair, why do people think its the answer to Cork traffic problem and the big bad daa are all to blame?
