Aer Lingus Pulling Out Of Some Cork Routes

[Actin The Sham]

Alicante and Tenerife will be no more from this September.


I wonder what all the people who bought apartments in Alicante are going to do now?

Vote FG probably.

Vote FG probably.

But what if they can't get back?

Alicante will be back for summer 2008. Some of the sun destinations are just too empty in Winter. For example, Faro was dropped from January to March this year.

I'm a bit surprised by Tenerife, because it's regarded as a Winter sun destination. In fact, I'd understoof that the Canaries were being dropped for the summer and then reinstated for the winter.

Assuming they're keeping the same number of aircraft in Cork (and they'd have to drop a lot more routes if this wasn't the case), expect to see extra capacity on some city destinations like Paris.

No it won't.

(NB Watch this space, Ryanair may very well announce routes from Cork to Lanzarote, Alicante and "somewhere in France" over the next few weeks.)

I've heard all that before about Ryanair.

They won't be announcing any new routes from Cork that aren't to one of their existing hubs.

If the somewhere in France is Marseille, maybe, but the Canaries and Alicante aren't going to happen.

They haven't even taken up the Glasgow route, despite having aircraft based at both ends.

Try this one then...

Aside from ones they have already assigned, Ryanair don't have any aircraft being delivered until September. Because of this, any immediate new routes will be to existing bases.

It's not a positive spin. I'm saying that we won't see any new Ryanair routes for a number of months. What's positive about that?

Incidentally, I reckon Michael O'Leary will be doing nothing to help out the government before the election, so that makes it unlikely too.

Historically on these issues infractural / development / transport issues relating to Cork.

Just an impression.

There will be new routes announced, but just like the Dublin route it will be maybe two months or so before they actually commence, which fits in nicely with your aforementioned schedule.

Anyway, you are talking about idle speculation, whereas I on the other hand, am in the know.

I couldn't give a toss.
Norries are the only people who go to those shitholes anyway.

[Tube a Pringles]

What's with the "bye Bye Baby" stickers on the Ryanair planes at the moment? Are they pushing Bmibaby off some routes at the moment?

On a seperate note, I have now concluded that the new airport is a balls of a design, and everyone I've spoken to that works there agrees.

[I'mwatchingyou]

As long as AL keep their direct route to Prague I also couldn't give a toss if the norries lose out on their shithole sunspots.
