Having a look at the airports facebook page it looks like their targeting Prague (Known since June) but also two routes which where all scheduled at Cork at one time which i didnt no they where looking to re-target Krakow and Madrid. Looking at Krakow i think the likely carrier here would be Aer Lingus, Ryanair or Wizz Air to a lessor extent and looking at Madrid either Aer Lingus or Ryanair. Also Targeted are London City, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Leeds/Bradford, Southampton, Brussels, Frankfurt and a big suprise Togher 
could be possibly the shortest air route after the one in Scotland

I hope I'll never see the day that an aircraft that takes off from the airport lands in Togher!
I still can't see a new airline coming to the airport and a number of those routes (Dusseldorf, Brussels London City) would seem to require that.
One route that never gets mentioned is Luton. I wonder could Ryanair be tempted there.

The only reason I think LTN may struggle is that FR would need to offer very low fares to tempt passengers to try the airport, ORK seems to be "used to" STN, LGW and LHR and between them the airports offer fairly good geographic cover for the London area.
The other big airline at LTN would be easyJet. I don't see them flying into ORK any time soon. (or any Irish airport, for that matter)

Summer 2012
Looks as if only LHR and AMS are on sale on the web. Can't see any major changes although if they don't operate SNN CDG they will have some spare capacity for a 3 per week service.
Rumours about a Central European route but that's as far as it goes for now!

Everything was on sale this afternoon. The only major change was that PMI was back to 2 weekly with nothing filling the Wedneday gap that the third weekly PMI was operating this summer.

Thats not the final schedule at all their will be major changes to it as a new route is on the way as ryan2000 points out and loads of timings are wrong infact slots for most airports during the summer arent really fully known until October.

Now their either going to announce a daily MAN flight or going to make a massive mistake in destroying their LPL market from Cork if MAN is not announced then RE will end up increasing it to 3x daily because i've never seen a FR flight to LPL in the last while leave with a load factor below 70% even on the days where their where two flights on after the other last December, i think MAN is about to be announced tommorow. Went ORK-DUB-ORK today, LF on the way out 50% on the way back 55%.
I think MAN will be daily with the same schedules just LPL swapped to MAN,
BASED Monday to Friday;
Current: ORK-DUB-LPL-ORK-LGW-ORK (Then Different Routes)
What i think from Oct: ORK-DUB-MAN-ORK-LGW-ORK (Then Different Routes)
NON-BASED Monday to Friday;
Current: DUB-ORK-LPL-DUB
What i think from Oct: DUB-ORK-MAN-DUB

If they announce MAN hope they don't pull the 6.30 DUB - MAN as if they do they will lose many passengers to EI. If the 6.30 stays DUB - MAN will be 4 daily and 5 daily on certain days. (5 daily operated last winter until Jan when cut because of T2 so FR claim)

06:30 DUB-MAN BOOKABLE
08:55 DUB-MAN (ORK A/C - MY GUESS)
18:10 DUB-MAN BOOKABLE
22:15 DUB-MAN BOOKABLE
07:55 MAN-DUB BOOKABLE
19:25 MAN-DUB BOOKABLE
20:55 MAN-DUB BOOKABLE (THIS WOULD NEED TO BE CHANGED)
21:25 MAN-DUB (THE AIRCRAFT THAT OPERATES DUB-ORK-MAN - MY GUESS)
06:30 DUB-MAN BOOKABLE
08:55 DUB-MAN (ORK A/C - MY GUESS)
18:10 DUB-MAN BOOKABLE
22:15 DUB-MAN BOOKABLE
07:55 MAN-DUB BOOKABLE
19:25 MAN-DUB BOOKABLE
20:55 MAN-DUB BOOKABLE (THIS WOULD NEED TO BE CHANGED)

Cork - Liverpool
The Cork - Liverpool schedule now looks final, operating M-W-F-- afternoons with a Cork based aircraft and on Sunday evenings with a Liverpool based aircraft.
An imminent Manchester announcement sounds very plausible but the exact scheduling of Cork/Dublin/Manchester based aircraft operating Cork routes can probably not be exactly as predicted above, but a similar permutation yes.
Meanwhile on the Cork Airport Facebook page Brussels is winning the new destination poll

Looks like DUB - ORK canceled for winter. Bookings suspended and not showing as operating. 
Would be perfect for EI regional/Aer Arann to base a third aircraft and operate the service possibly a ATR42.

Jamie can i ask how you no bookings made have been suspended? its been removed from the booking engine fair enough but they could be still tweaking the schedule who knows, all though tbh i feel it could be bad news regarding the DUB route
