Cork's up and downs
 

Heard rumours on the grapeveine, may already be public knowledge but here goes. CitiExpress to reduce MAN by one, Flybe gone from end March, RE to do Belfast from April 1. Can aybody shed some light?

As far as Citiexpress goes...looks like we are down from 3 a day to 1 according the schedules in BABS after the end of March. Doesn't surprise me though because the pax loads on some services have been in single figures.....and I think we could use the Dash-8's for something more useful??? The only departure from MAN @ 12.10 looks like its still the 146-200 which will be either G-GNTZ or G-MANS......hope this helps

Not all bad news, you know, for Cork! Summer charters should be up a little this coming summer compared to last and CSA are also due to up their schedule from and to Prague so all is not yet lost.

Keep the faith!

Did I dream it or did bmi baby not announce LGW - ORK and PRG yesterday on their home page? It doesn't seem to be there now!

If Aer Arann do take up Belfast, hope it will be BHD - would be nice to see them back again after the all too brief DUB service last year!

Perhaps we need to translate it!

"Holy God Boyyo - leave it out"

Chillwinston.....and what exactly is the problem with my post? I'd be interested to know - if anyone finds it offensive I'd be happy to elaborate.

Once again you've elected to hi-jack a thread with your usual drivel which consistently manages to be neither constructive nor humorous!

Could you actually be hinting (in not many words) that RE should operate to BFS? - now that would be funny were it not for the fact that it would be a complete and utter waste of time and money for RE!

I too hope that Cork has more joy with services in the later part of the year that what the early part has delivered - fingers crossed a good summer schedule lies ahead.

I believe that Aer Arran will announce the ORK service shortly to Belfast, but unfortunately for you ALLMCC I don't think it will be from BHD.

The whole DUB service has left a bad taste with RE and if BFS are
prepared to offer them landing fees for little or a fraction of what BHD would charge them - who could blame them.

Believe it's to City...in next day or two

The point to my "drivel" (why are you replying to it then, matey!!) is that I, as a fare paying passenger gets to the destinations I want to travel to and for the right price.

As for Cork, with the recent demise of Jetmagic (shame!) I only hope that another airlines either picks up the routes or a new operator (with sound financial backing) will see the potential and create more gainful employment to the people who have lost their careers through no fault of their own.

Children....any chance of returning to the original thread

It's ORK-BHD from March 1st.

Good news...20,000 on a twice daily year round, using ATR42. Wonder has somebody got their figures wrong. March 1, no schedule and not in system. Suspect planning! Having said that good luck to all concerned.

and now bmibaby have confirmed LGW-ORK - which can only be good for the airport

See RE also annonuced MAN/WAT yesterday....interesting to see what sort of frequency they throw at it.....bit suspect I would say

Come on GUYS'N'GALS lets get out of this negative talk. Lets face it, this forum is all just a bit of fun and if people can't take a bit of old hard talk now and then, well, need I say more.

I had a slating because apparently I was too pro-LBA and I apparently didn't support other airports but hay, why should I not support my local airport? (RE: Leeds Expansion/ Teesside Expansion posts)

So ALLMACC, Chillwinston, etc. etc.... Stop spitting out your dummies and get PPRUNE(ing)
:( :( :( :( :( :(

Well said, LBAir! Now that a service to Gatwick from Cork has been reinstated a new project is needed so what about a 2-3x7 service again between Cork and Nice? Nice was amongst Jetmagic's best supported routes last summer and was fine even during the weeks of winter. Between EZY, WW and Jet2 sending in so many flights from different bases around Britain and Europe would there be any hope of a W rotation to Cork from a Nice bound aircraft? Just an idea! Shame to see such a good route disappear.
