I bet if SNN had the route you wouldn't be asking such stupid questions.....
WX won't be steal many pax from FR. They are different markets. Maybe it's the person whos stupid who doesn't understand this. Wx will chiefly steal pax from EI, and EI won't drop the fare below the base of €100 return (Taxes only)
So I ask again, where will the pax come from? In the case of Shannon you had Liverpool pax forced to fly MAN, as well as some BHX as well as fares as low as €10 return compared to EI's min €80 return. Pax who flew ORK/DUB/NOC now flew SNN.
Will anyone from WAT, NOC, SNN, KIR, DUB be jumping back to Cork for this service? NO. How you missed my point so comprehensively would confuse a physic.
