    I'm begining to suspect that O'Leary came to Cork to tell them why they WOULD'nt be getting any FR expansion.

    Why are people surprised?

    It was fairly obvious from Day 1 what the motives of Norwegian were, but was it okay just because it was going to benefit Cork?

    Norwegian approached Shannon before they approached Cork & todays press story is just Shannon stating this - which they are fully entitled to do. I think the CBP clearance at Shannon will actually cause more concern for the American Authorities than the non clearance at Cork. CBP is a 'clean' process with recognised Airlines and recognised procedures, even if Norwegian get Shannon, I doubt they will get CBP clearance.

    I'm not long out of a briefing and looks hopeful for Cork, albeit delayed start

    This is a Cork forum, what other kind of reaction would you expect? Of course we want more flight options.

    CBP and SNN will have nothing to do with the decision for DY going to SNN.

    If you read.my posts you would see I'm.not in support of Norwegians plans for Shannon and I'm still of the opinion that Norwegian is only interested in both airports for reasons other than just getting into those markets.

    I know what you are saying, a lot of grey areas with Norwegian but from Corks perspective, a route with them to Boston is better than anything we ever had across the Atlantic.

    If they go with the times they were going from Cork with then the CBP at SNN will be closed for the day. 3pm departure.

    Not that its relevant, but I'm sure it could be extended if Norwegian ask nicely.

    A clause of the Open Skies agreement is that it must not be used to avoid labour laws, could the Americans pull this card?

    But Norwegian are already flying in and out of the States.At this stage I think we are being punished for being a 'tax haven' for their companies.What else can it be?.

    Unlikely, would take a lot more than 189 passengers to get it opened. I don't think they would use it anyway, cheaper doing it in US.

    They open on TUE/WED/THURS in the depth of the winter when there's only 1 757 flight don't they?

    Very complex set up, those are stationed here all year. The problem is staff are restored to do x hours and whatever services fit around those hours clear however you then have to balance the level of passengers with the number of staff and how much they can handle.

    They will not increase staff without a lot more demand, it took nearly 2 years to get them at DUB and demand was significantly higher. I expect if they can handle the extra passengers and DY want to use it within current times they can but I really cannot see any other options.

    Price is what will make DY attractive so clearing here or the US isn't going to disadvantage them.

    On a positive note, the Boston meetings went very well, there's a real desire from tourism Boston to get the link established and equal pressure on the authorities in the States as there is here. May take a while longer, but the signs are still good

    If all else fails we will have to remind the Yanks that a Cork man named their country.
