CORK - 5

[Jack1985]

My employment?

Fair enough I'll take your word however it has to be said out of all the routes Aer Lingus launched at Gatwick, DUB & NOC seemed to be only routes that ever were going to pay off. If Knock makes ''makes little by way of profit'' then the its not too unrealistic to estimate the Gatwick base shutting up shop completly from October Dublin obviously continuing. Dermot Mannion god how I do miss him wonder how Royal Brunei are doing these days.

[EI-BUD]

Jack1985, I am aware of poor LGW routes to Europe performed. What I am saying is if Ei were not able to make LGW work, no other base outside Island of Ireland would work. And yes if BA opened base in DUB it would suffer the same fate as Ei LGW.

Yes no appetite for SNN , but it would deem that snn may be better option un the future than UK options, especially given relationship between FR and SNN. They have bi chiouce now but to focus on core Irish market.

Full planes not profitable...not good enough Jack!

[gazcork]

I'd say the same re your stmt on Cork. Need facts

[ryan2000]

Cork will need to support 320's on routes like Manchester if it's ever to get above 3 million again. It had BMI Baby 733's and EI 320's daily during the Celtic Tiger era. Seems very far away now but who knows?

Just shows how little intelligence you have concerning this matter, SkyEurope Cork-Bratislava always full - no ancillary revenue from pax, not profitable.

I work in the airport, and I'd love to ask you what flights you've taken to Gatwick recently so I can check the loads which you claim were close to full. Fact of the matter is loads never have really surpassed an average of 54%. Want proof? do your research and look at the stats on the CSO website.

Your exactly right, but if you look at Aer Lingus recent changes with fare structures etc they're driving profits by reform and ancillary revenue and I'd be the first to say on most of my flights in 2008 to Manchester with Aer Lingus I'd seen maybe 3/4 buying BOB? the ATR seem's to be the perfect aircraft at the moment but a mix of A320's or A319's for that mater on a Friday, Sunday would surely work.

Ryanair cuts Fuerteventura. Final service is scheduled on November 3rd.

[BlueSki]

What's the Ryanair winter 2013 schedule like? Less flights?

[ryan2000]

I think they've an extra ACE but no sign of ORK AGP yet.

[BlueSki]

Looks like FUE is gone aswell......

[francis omahony]

good to see EIR are cat II again with the last three days of fog in cork all have landed

[PPRuNeUser0176]

Ryanair have cancelled the planned new EMA flights, removed from website.

[BlueSki]

That's strange isn't it..Wonder what happend?

[francis omahony]

it is strange just can't trust them(fr)

[EI-A330-300]

How is it strange?

Its simple bookings were most lightly low and FR decided its not viable to operate the flights.

[Jamie2k9]

OLT Express has filed for bankruptcy

[Jack1985]

That's a fairly foolish statement to say the least.

Exactly.

OLT Express has filed for bankruptcy

Well I said from the onset that OLT was going to be of no benefit to Cork and that has now proven true. It's expansion plans were let's just say suicidal in the least.

[ryan2000]

Ryanair had their Cork departures for EMA scheduled for 2200. Timing almost guaranteed low bookings.

[DublinPole]

Ryanair new route
Cork to Wroclaw twice weekly from winter

Competiting with Wizzair who are going to once weekly for the winter.

[fivejuliet]

The rest are to Gdansk, Krakow, Modlin (warsaw) and Vilnius
