Cork appears to be doing very well considering it had only been operating for less than 6 months when these figures were released. Being available on the Aer Lingus booking engine is obviously helping the figures and the ability to walk over the road and be in London rapidly as well. I met some travellers when we used the route that had done just that as it was easier and quicker than using Heathrow or Gatwick to their final destination. The Channel Island flights are also popular for this reason. Having a rail link on your doorstep is a massive advantage to any airport.
