How do you suppose this could be done? Its unlikely they will remove aircraft from Dublin, so could a moving of the Cork base be possible? It would stir a lot of trouble. If the Cork base was to move, could it be something like SNN-BHX-SNN-ORK-BHX-ORK-SNN?
Maybe Stobart could lease a few ATR42's? They are ample size for a large SNN base.
Wasn't one of the reasons cited for closing the base due to it being significantly loss making ??
