Not sure I'd use them for New York, whatever about traveling from Providence to Boston, which is very doable, Stewart to Manhattan is a bit painful.

Stewart, that is the one, thank you.

Its not a service to be used by Cork only. Its handy for anyone in the Tipp, Kerry and Waterford catchment areas also.....and going by news reports, business and tourism interests are excited about this. I don't understand why there isn't more thinking outside the box. Why don't people like the GAA work with NAI and the Massachusetts/Rhode Island area to get plane loads of people in for Munster championships for example or something of that ilk. And vice versa for NFL games in Foxboro. How far is Foxboro from the TF Green airport...50mins??

You're confusing wishful thinking with viability. Just because people get excited about something doesn't really add up to a viable service. By the way the region you referred to already has transatlantic flights, in Shannon. Also your idea for using sports events to drum up passengers is grand and all but you do realize that you're already admitting that there is a viability issue... Flights between regions need to be inherently viable.. That means having latent or potential passenger demand at a scale sufficient enough to commercially support a service. I hope that exists for the Cork Boston flights. I don't think there is, despite the amount of excitement and wishful thinking.

Tickets to NFL games in Foxborough are like gold dust. But tickets to the PawSox would be handy to come by

Norwegian have said Cork - Providence is one of the the highest selling routes on their network hopefully it continues that way.

 

[Coach and Six]

Confusion is occurring here.

Just to be clear here.
Norwegian are using a Boeing 737 800 for the Boston route, that is happening end of story.

There is a grey area, the 737 800 does not have the range to go as far as the airport which they will be operating to in NY.

Boeing are about to launch a derived version of the 737 called the Max, it is more fuel efficient than the likes of the 737 800.
The exact fuel savings and therefore range improvement has not yet been established.

Airliners do not like having to compromise as to how much weight they put on their planes, as this costs money.

Thanks for the clarity. Seemed like they were talking about the Cork-Boston route.

Flying to the states to see the paw sox would be like Americans flying to Cork to see Glen Rovers

Looks like Cork to New York gone bang. Norwegian now saying runway in Cork is too short me thinks Alan Kelly was spot on and DAA used Cork as a Trojan Horse I mean you'd think the runway length would've been known before announcement was made. It's all smoke and mirrors with DAA
Come on Coveney, Creed, Dara Murphy, & Buttimer

No sign of our own ministers or politicians opening their mouths

Surprised at Coveney - there's leadership at stake and votes in CSC.
