Ryanair expanding at Cork

Noxegon

Five new routes and a bunch of increased frequencies, mostly on Spanish sun destinations.

Schedule is pretty poor though. Out on a Friday and back on Sunday or out on a Saturday and back on Monday.

Grand if you want to do a whole week in a place but pointless for a long weekend (really need early Friday to Monday evening for that)

Good call putting the Paris route on as Air France are only summer to CDG. Guessing ORLY?

You'd be lucky – it's Ryanair, so the flight is to "Paris" Beauvais.

The schedule is only really useful for those going for a week. It's hopeless for business trips.

estonia malta denmark greece turkey would be massive bonus for cork but cant see it happening

I could only see Greece happening out of any of those. I don't think Cork has the market for much more than it has, unless its Ryanair where the cheap fares make a destination out of nothing.

What we really need is more Frankfurt, more Zurich and perhaps more KLM Amsterdam. Connecting flights are really the only way to go.

Edit: Maybe Malta.

Remember Ryanair, far more than the likes of Aer Lingus cater for traffic in both directions. On a Dublin to Barcelona flight for example you'd often see more Spanish than Irish on the flights. This is a good thing for Cork as a whole.
