Have flown several times on the KLM Fokker 100 from Belfast to Amsterdam.
Much smaller jet (and a lot older) than the A320 which Aer Lingus operate out of Cork on their double daily Amsterdam services.
KLM must without doubt be planning to fly to Cork if they are dropping their codeshare with Aer Lingus. It will be a big blow to EI as Amsterdam must be their busiest route from Cork after Heathrow.
Would be great to see Aer Lingus increase their Paris service to a double daily for greater connectivity to Cork.
Also maybe a return to Gatwick with a double daily would be great as BA still have a presence at Gatwick along with Virgin and several low cost carriers like Norwegian and EasyJet.
If CityJet take over Stobart, the Sukhoi Super Jet could really suit Cork if they operate under the Aer Lingus Regional brand. Not only could it be used for increased services to Paris but maybe we could see the return of Geneva and Nice flights then too.
