Not sure this route will last.I have used the service four times with loads of approx 25 to 30 passengers Cork to London and approx 50 on the return. Its going to be a case of use it or loose it. Airport management or the DAA cant be blamed if it fails.
It is still relatively early days for this new route. Think it might be more popular if they offered a earlier LCY departure and a later departure from ORK.
With WX interested in operating new routes from ORK to Europe. One option could be to operate a early departure from both ORK and LCY, with the 2 aircraft operating the triangle pattern LCY-ORK-XXX-LCY and ORK-LCY-XXX-ORK.
