Good to hear a bit of positive route news

JCX BXC · 27-06-2016 09:57PM

First day without Cityjet flights today.

Well, they are operating a charter to La Rochelle today so they still have a presence at Cork however slim it is.:(

H8GHOTI · 30-06-2016 04:28PM

Just back from a holiday.
When looking for flights I wanted:
Cork > Barcelona > Gran Canaria > Cork

With our dates and the available flights it wasn't possible unfortunately. Ended up using Dublin instead. There wasn't much of a difference price wise.

There is only one flight a week to Gran Canaria. So you only have a choice of 7 or 14 days. I presume there just isn't enough business there to justify another flight.

Probably been said numerous times before but flying out of Cork is so much easier. Obviously the drive to Dublin is a factor, although I don't find that too bad.

It's things that are a little less obvious that made a difference to me. Parking and passport control. We landed at 5.30pm and it was 7pm before we were back in the car. Took around 30 mins to get through the passport checks. Then waiting for the bus to the car park which is a 15 minute drive away.

Compare that to Cork. Frequently get through passport control in 30 seconds and 2 minute walk to the car. If at all possible I'll fly from Cork.

[font=Myriad, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The latest figures released by the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) show Cork terminal flights were up by 19.1% compared with the same month last year, the strongest performance of any Irish airport for the month. Year-to-date passenger numbers to the end of June showed an 8.5% increase. Growth is projected to continue through the summer months as Cork benefits from additional traffic on several new summer services. [/font]

[font=Myriad, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] Meanwhile, the wait to find out if Cork Airport will get its transatlantic route continues, and a local MEP is asking for pressure to be brought to bear on the US.[/font]

I had forgotten the tea princess was still an MEP

Deirdre Clown. Gawd help us, what she knows about airports you could fit on a tea leaf.

From a reliable source I have been told that Norwegian have issued a request to Cork Airport today asking to link them from ORK to BOS for pre ops testing.

This is a required step in order to start a service from most Irish airports, and often signals that a service is fairly certain to commence given the significant cost involved in this link.

What does that involve?

It mean Norweigan have requested connectivity for flight info, baggage messages and ticketing. It's costly because the main messaging body SITA have an awful lot of work to do & isn't something an airline takes lightly.

Is it the airport or the airline paying for this?

kub · 20-07-2016 11:10AM

So is this an indication that this route might actually happen?
Have Norwegian been given a nod but it is not an official announcement yet?

That's what it looks like.

The airline pays, otherwise you'd have every jack the lad with a pair of wings with the slightest chance of a route registering. I think what's significant is that they have held off until now.

How much money are we talking about here ballpark?

Fabio · 21-07-2016 01:57PM

This would be great news if it's happening. At the rate they're going once an announcement is made flights could happen very shortly after because it sounds like the groundwork is being done in advance.

Fingers crossed.

Leaving aside the whole US thing, the airport has annoumced increased frequencies on some routes for the winter schedule.
southamption must be v popular route going to operate 4 times a week in the winter

JeffCash · 12-08-2016 10:17AM

Was flying out last week and they had a sign at the bottom of the escalators saying that their rush hour is from 4:30 - 6:30 am. Seems every time I fly out lately it's at the crack of dawn. Handy enough for me as I live nearby but just seems a little mental.

Just back from there, about 45 on the outbound, well over 60 on the return. A lot of cruise traffic I would say.

JCX BXC · 21-08-2016 01:48PM

So whats happened this Runway change to 16/34?

Jamie2k9 · 21-08-2016 04:14PM

Flybe have changed Cork-Cardiff schedule for winter and now make the route useful. Operating on Mondays and Fridays and not the mess up until now where it was no use to anyone.

JCX BXC · 25-08-2016 08:30PM

During the middle. Seasonal increases aren't loaded yet, nothing to worry about

TheDriver · 26-08-2016 12:48AM

Ah cool, wasn't aware of that. Did you trawl the website for all that info?
