Ryanair increase Cork to London Stansted flights
 

Ryanair have increased their flights to London Stansted from Cork next Summer from 25 March flights will now operate three times daily on Mondays and Fridays with a twice daily service on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and now Sundays.

That will be the boost Cork needs for the London Olympics! :rolleyes:

Pisa, new route
 

Statring on the 1st June Pisa to Cork using I think a Pisa based plane.;)
Grrr, just seen it's been pulled, some g*b****e at IT getting us all excited for nothing.:\

Looks like it's back again.

Monday and Friday with a Pisa based aircraft.

Correction: Cork-based aircraft

Wonder where is being dropped or will they operate an existing route from the other end. Dropping Dublin alone won't cover it.

second aircraft will be returning for the sun routes, looks like the morning STN flights (FR901/902) could now continued to be operated by an ORK a/c.

That's great, Pisa will be nice, I wonder will Milan be dropped instead. Any one know how Milan did last year.

BGY LF's were good as far as i seen, it was 3 weekly in June and July and was increased in August to 4 weekly so what that say's is anyone's guess. Hopefully it will return along with ALC, BOD, CCF, LRH and REU.

so when will it start?any more new routes out of cork for the summer?

Cork-Pisa begins 1 June operating on Mondays & Fridays. Cork-Frankfurt is expected to be announced by Aer Lingus operating on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays beginning 26 March.

I see bgy is off the route map and REU as a base is still there,any clue about that?

Yes your right, all the summer seasonal routes (from Cork) are removed each year by Ryanair for some reason, Carcassonne began in the Summer of 2008 and has returned every Summer since but has been removed from the route map every year since its inception :hmm: but its seriously likely (99% chance) that ALC, BGY, BOD, CCF, LRH, and REU (Although flights to REU could be changed to say BCN or GRO but this is my own speculation) will be returned.

From 24 December a Cork based will operate the charted ORK - SZG at the current Malaga time on Saturdays. AGP will be operated on a W from DUB arriving ORK at 14.10 and departing ORK at 14.50

FR Reus base will not re-open in March but can't see them moving ORK to GRO/BCN. It will be at REU or not operate if you ask me.

Light Aircraft incident.
 

Small PA34 from Atlantic had a nose gear collapse at the intersection of 25-07/17-35 at 14:35, 2 pax un-injured.

Good to hear the 2 pax are ok..what about the pilot/crew?

It was an Atlantic flying school aircraft with a trainee and pilot/instructer on board. Plane was turning off runway at the time so speed was very low. Airport reopened after 40 mins, 1 Ryanair from Gatwick diverted to SNN, 1 EI to Teneriffe delayed. No injuries.

As part of Jet2 expanction at NCL they will add a third weekly flight to Cork between June - Sep.

Operates on Tuesdays from 5 June - 4 September but currently booking system showing no third flight 12,19,26 June, may be a IT mistake on the site, but all round its good news weather it does operate for all of June or not.

Ryanair flights proposal to increase traffic into Cork Airport | The Cork News

Do they want to be paid to do like they did at SNN?

Don't forget about 40-50% of it will be Irish going to the sun....Always the way with FR

TBH I think Ryanair have a standard set of stories they reel off every now and then knowing that it will get them a bit of free advertising in the local press near to whichever airport they are talking about.

Very unlikely anything will come of this, as 840 has pointed out Ryanair are getting free advertising. We will probably here more DAA bashing in a few months.
