I see the relatively new Cork route has been cancelled by Cityjet.

Understand loads were marginal; never got the chance to try it myself. I wonder how much they were influenced by the grossly extended flying time required for arrivals now; from the Cork direction seems to be the worst for extended routings ("Fly Cityjet to London, we'll show you Cap Gris Nez from the air and how the 146/RJ handles trundling along at Minimum Manoeuvring Speed for 30 minutes" is not much of an advertising tagline, is it ?)


The new nonsense doesn't affect inbounds from mainland Europe to the same extent. You would have thought that LCY would be up in arms about this, but I presume management have their hands full with their new Canadian schoolteacher owners - whose comprehension of aviation in another continent cannot be top of their teaching abilities.
