    Kosice won in the finish but it looks like a lot of fake profiles voted for it.

    That's a pity,
    Looks like the airport's marketing team will have to earn their huge salaries and do a bit of work to get a new route in.

    What's your evidence for this?

    My mistake, must have only been loaded in the last day or so, was not included in the Ryanair winter release ( https://corporate.ryanair.com/news/ryanair-launches-biggest-ever-irish-winter-2018-schedule/?market=ie) so was safe to assume it was cut. Must be a change of mind.

    Shame Cork didn't win. The voting lacked any sort of transparency so who really knows the outcome.

    I wasn't able to do that actually, was it on Facebook desktop or on a phone? (My attempt was the latter).

    Facebook app can be painful at times, strange for such a large and popular platform.

    yeah you cant check on the phone, you can on desktop. Some sketchy one day old accounts alright. But sure whats done is done! Life moves on :) Hopefully cork gets some more flights down the line

    Nothing new anyway, was no different for the Shannon competition where the end result was vastly different to the original one.

    Managed to snap a picture of that A330 NEO plane flying to Cork Airport, seems to be going around twice. Its huge! Never saw something that big fly to Cork Airport. Its not landing, runway too small I am assuming but it seems to be testing landing most likely in the winds?

    Ah cool. On the cork airport Twitter they mentioned it wouldn't be landing just going close to the ground and back up. Came from SNN it looks like.

    Flew to Birmingham on an A330 for a Heineken cup match back in 2008. Flew to Birmingham as well for the final on a 744.

    Looks like a diversion from DUB to ORK after circling a few times by DUB. Looks like lots of planes are circling, must be strong winds?

    EDIT: CDG to DUB also looks like its been diverted to ORK: https://www.flightradar24.com/EIN527/10b641ff

    They were all day trips so had no luggage or cargo. Barely any fuel or catering either so the take off weight would have been very low compared to a full flight meaning the runway wasn't much of an issue.
    Most aircraft can land and take off there with low loads.

    Why? Flights occasionally get cancelled, probably a tech issue. I don't understand the outrage.

    Anybody happen to know why this flight from cardiff to cork looks to be going to DUB? https://www.flightradar24.com/BEE1UY/10c06b30 Ryanair plane from STN to ORK just landed so possibly something happened on flight?

    Air France has just announced that they’ll extend their daily Cork to Paris CDG flight starting in May to operate year round. Pretty significant gain for Cork.

    https://twitter.com/corkairport/status/976407554128580608?s=21

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Cardiff - Cork - Cardiff was cancelled due to the weather in the UK I think. This was probably an FR24 glitch

    I wonder is that a good or a bad thing for Aer Lingus ?

    A bad thing of course, how would it be a good thing?

    To be honest I can't see EI continuing through the winter.

    I guess it depends really on how well they advertise the air France flights. I have a lot of friends who know Ryanair and are lingus and they are generally the only two they look up (besides the translatintic flights, but for European flights they are the only two they know). But yeah, aer lingus will be taking a hit (or air France won't get passengers but seeing as they are making it year round I'm guessing they have seen popularity for the previously announced times?)
