Cork To USA gone bang.

Here we go, we fucking wonder how gombeen politicians get into office.
This decision has nothing whatsoever to do with Irish politicians, there was no hassle with the Irish side of this arrangement.
The issue was American Aviation unions lobbied their Transport authority and because of this the licence was not issued.
Their concern is that Norwegian have some interesting work arrangements with their staff, therefore their fares are less. American unions are looking out for their members.
Also if people here were not so quick to go up to Shannon and Dublin to fly across the Atlantic, another established operator would step in.
 
Paschal O'Donoghue will build a second runway at Dublin instead

Why was he providing the service out Cork?
The second runway at Dublin is necessary as their passenger numbers have gone over 24 million per annum.
This runway should have been built years ago.
 
If people were not so quick to go to Dublin or Shannon?

Ffs if it's an affordable option they are going to do it. If the service was offered from their own doorstep they would use it.

I'm not blaming the government for this falling through btw. But am blaming the minister for refusing to give cork a level playing field to compete with Dublin and Shannon overall not just transatlantic services.

the choice of destinations from cork is feeble at present, would use it a lot more often if one could go direct to interesting places from here

Do you think that a better promoted Cork airport and supported by the Govt. and the DAA could take pressure off of Dublin airport and traffic from the South getting flights that could be served from CORK / SNN ?

The 2nd runway will cost billions and will be a protracted planning nightmare and when built will only increase competition with the other airports
