Cork-6

[brian_dromey]

You're right, I got the two destinations mixed up.

KLM goes twice daily in the winter schedule. Nothing loaded by AF yet.

[Wanted Deal or Ailve]

Some noise that AF may pull out or yield market to KLM.

Have you got a source for this?

I booked flights on the KLM website.

While it seems a bit trivial to be posting passenger figures at the moment, the CSO released the annual totals this morning. Cork handled 2,585,466 (+8.3%) passengers last year.

Route figures aren't available for December yet, but they did publish a top 10 routes annually. I would normally have expected full figures by late March, but it's understandably not a priority at the moment.

London - Heathrow 379,146
London - Stansted 346,013
Amsterdam - Schiphol 157,325
Malaga 155,554
Paris - Charles De Gaulle 135,643
London - Gatwick 125,644
Faro 125,378
Manchester 108,525
Lanzarote 105,538
London - Luton 97,118

For those interested in passenger numbers at other Irish Airports, the figures were

Dublin 32,676,251 (+4.3%)
Shannon 1,616,422 (-3.7%)
Knock 805,443 (+3.9%)
Kerry 369,836 (+1.2%)
Donegal 48,542 (+4.3%)
Connemara 15,382 (+0.4%)
Inishmore 8,831 (+0.2%)

I see Air France are back on the departure board from tomorrow, scheduled as an E190, 4 weekly by the look of it for now. EI are back on the CDG route from 17th August, looks like daily for now. Good to see the departure board are filling up, albeit slowly.

I suspect the primary reason flights are resuming is to avoid having to refund passengers.

I was talking to someone who was on the Naples-Cork flight yesterday and they said there were 7 passengers on board, so it seems demand is still very light.
