No chance, Aer Lingus already fly from Cork to Birmingham (as do BMI Baby). A lot of passengers who travelled from Cork to East Midlands will simply travel through Birmingham so there'd be no point. As for new routes from Shannon, thats unlikely. The Shannon base is heavily loss making and Ryanair are unlikely to want to launch any new routes during the winter. Also Shannon-East Midlands has far lower passenger numbers than Cork-East Midlands (Cork-East Mids carried 73% more passengers in July than Shannon-East Mids despite identical frequency). If Cork-East Mids is only marginally profitable (according to MOL), then Shannon-East Mids must be lossmaking considering the lower passenger numbers.

It looks like Ryanair are replacing Cork with Beauvais.

Beauvais
 

CR

Yes its a straight replacement, daily 09.30-12.40 FR1688/9, commences 28th October.

Madrid has been removed from the route map and stops for good at the end of the summer season. Anyone know the reason???? the flight times to be fair wernt the best.

Also Derry has also been dropped from the end of the summer season

Regards

Stu

The Derry route has been moved to BHX. Hopefully not a sign of things to come for EMA.

Most are only suspended, a bit like some of Ryanairs routes.

However one or two are a bit strange such as Aberdeen
which was only released at double daily a few weeks ago
when fuel was sky high.

Thanks Oltonpete.

Ive quite alot of friends who work for baby at EMA/BHX So Am Thinking Of them.

Thou Some Routes Are Chopped from the 1st of Oct So There is No Flying for Nearly 12 weeks. I Can Understand Baby Cutting Back. They Have been having a Sale Recently and was Quite Suprised at some of the routes theye were Offering So Not Suprised at Whats Happened. At the Mo All I Can See is That EMA Has Lost the PRG This Winter.

Recent trip to Sweden with Sterling

Outbound Monday 62 pax 1 hour late cost £0.00 + tax (Excellent Air)

Inbound Friday approx 100 pax nearly 3 hours late cost £10.00 + tax own equipment 737-700

Pax numbers not totally abysmal but I guess yield was. Sad to see them dropping the route though.

My two internal flights ARL - Vilhelmina and Umea - ARL cost around 30 times the EMA-ARL leg!!
