Part of the reason for the increase on DUB-BRU is Ryanair have reduced there service over the last 2 years. They were 14 weekly at one stage. It drops back to 17 weekly from 2 July-2 September. Thursday lunchtime flight gone to make way for other summer flights.

The A319's won't be based in ORK yet as the first 2 are going to BFS and I could put money on it that the 3rd and 4th aircraft will probably go to belfast also. Especially if BA cancels the BD to LHR i can see it having 6 x daily rotation on A319's with 2 decicated to LHR.

Wizz Air have added a third weekly Cork-Vilnius flight on Thursdays from 5 July - 6 September.

Also a few extra flights in June for Euro 2012.

Hi Danny
I cant see Aer Lingus going beyond 3 summer units and 2 winter units at BFS. Would be nice but cant see where the demand would be to be honest. And this coming summer many of the routes will be as hotly contested as ever with Jet2 increasing activity on ALC, bmibaby launching ALC from BHD, that will mean 4 carriers in the market, and more to mind the range of routes bmibaby are launching in Spring from BHD....! Any opportunity that may arise on Belfast/Heathrow would mean more need for 320 rather than 319! But slot availability may be the biggest challenge..

Expect another new route announcement from Ryanair for Cork. This will involve the June to August based aircraft assuming the present schedule stays the same. It's also likely to be a relatively short sector.

It pretty much has to be the west of France.

You're not going to start a UK route for just 3 months, apart from maybe Newquay and that's not going to work in a Ryanair size plane.

So the west of France is the only other short sector available.

Hopefully, Nantes as it's the most likely to work, but if they want to give Dinard or Brest a go, I wouldn't complain.

Cork via Amsterdam to Izmir

Has anyone heard anything about a flight operating ORK-AMS-IZM ?
Perhaps by KLM?

I couldn't see Cork-Amsterdam-Izmir being operated by KLM.

It would presumably be a charter route and it wouldn't seem to suit their business plan. If there was a KLM involvement, it would more likely be through Transavia.

Even then, if chartering, it would seem more sensible to operate with an airline like SunExpress or Onur Air.

I'd also have some reservations about the route. Charters that link two source airports to a destination are usually used when neither source airport could provide enough passengers for a route in their own right. There's enough demand for Amsterdam-Turkey flights that there would be no need to share traffic with Cork.

As a final thought, is the restriction that Ireland-Turkey charters have to be operated by an Irish or Turkish carrier still in place?

There goes our Frankfurt service! I still think it would have had a greater traffic mix than Brussells but time will tell. This is the 3rd time in 4 years that Aerlingus were all set to announce Frankfurt but didn't proceed.

Seems a sensible schedule aimed at business users without hammering their own Dub service. I would have thought a Sunday evening rotation would be good to allow for weekend breaks. Good to see another route.

Are all the Ryanair routes using based aircraft or is there any extra capacity opening up by using aircraft based remotely?

Mix of remote and based aircraft. Plenty capacity for some new routes. Ryanair have slowly but surely grown their business at Cork and it's not based on any unsustainable incentives. This is good for both the airline and the airport authority.
