Deals like that need to be promoted more to help the airprt. Some v good deals for long haul

Have actually emailed and messaged the airport on Facebook letting them know about these kinds of deals that are readily available on tons of dates .. even when booking short notice e.g. over the next two to three weeks...

I haven't seen these flights advertised much at all, and to be honest, I'd consider these kind of flights much more important long-term for the airport, rather than Norwegian.

Its not just the airport that should be pushing them its also travel agents esp the ones in muster like travel fox and even the local papers. Recently on the examiner Amsterdam was the destination of choice on the travel section and in the how to get their section it was Dublin airport no mention of the cork to ams service. Think something similar with Madrid a good while back no mention of thesummer service from cork

They should indeed be pushing these European flights over the Norwegian one, or at least equally as much. They are very important to the airports sustainability and is a bit of an over part on their side

Have been following aviation threads for sometime as a guest user, with Ryanair to introduce Shannon-bristol/Liverpool in the coming days, Im curious to know whether or not people think these will affect corks services?

Effect will be minimal, especially on Bristol. The Shannon routes aren't particularly high frequency and are only running for the summer.

You cant really compare SNN-BRS to ORK-BRS. 2x Weekly vs 7x Weekly

If they don't, I'm afraid that's the way it works. You'd hardly begrudge the Midwest for getting more services?

Not at all, however I would prefer if ORK-BRS remained as it is as my daughter attends the University of Bristol and uses it every second weekend.

Again dont worry, as JCX BXC said, it will have a minimal effect unless of course it is expanded

Full I hope!

I saw that LaudaMotion is flying from Vienna to Dublin soon. They are now in competition with Lufthansa/Swiss, British Airway/Aer Lingus and Ryanair on this route. Is this a missed opportunity to fly Cork - Vienna as flights to this area from Cork are underdeveloped at best or is Corks traffic and fees still not appealing?

SleetAndSnow

Just saw the air France HOP! Plane flying overhead. Small enough alrighr but great to see more brands in the sky.

I'm at cork airport for other reasons today and they announced the outbound CDG departure is full.

Great today, looked like a full service to AMS, LHR and CDG.

Jet2 were running 737s on this route not too long ago. Surely some amount of viability there.
