Cork Airport - *Read Mod Note in First Post Before Posting*

Another step in the right direction, a dedicated Bus Eireann service from the city to the airport via Black Ash is on the horizon

And bus lanes.

Why not use the Charleroi flight , Hans ?

All the Dalaman flights have been taken off sale

Maybe.. but the marketing for it from either Cork or TUI had been non existent so I reckoned the plug had been pulled

Same. For business travel I don't want to drive. I can't work and drive… Train & plane please. And frequency.

Zurich is also really well connected with additional flights and trains, it's my airport of choice for trains to/from Germany and around Switzerland, it's just 10 mins to the hauptbahnhof, by train that goes every 10 mins or less. I love that big train departure board in Zuri. One of these days some work will be cancelled and I'll hop on a TGV to somewhere instead for the day. :)

I also like the segregated high-speed security setup for business travel when it's available in airports. This is really handy when you're moving around on a tight schedule. AMS also has it, ZRH has it, but not Lisbon. Don't even need it in Cork, also on my fav airport list for that reason! You can rock up with a few mins to go.

That Cork Zurich flight is only a few months of the year. Oddly, only the summer, when most of us are doing less business travel, and for those, only 2 or occasionally 3 flights a week. Year round would be amazing. Daily would be a dream.

Fingers crossed this is the year they make the route year round again

It sounds more definite from the article that Paris CDG will go year round. That would be helpful to add another European hub for global connections - although it's hard to beat the flexibility of 4 flights a day to and from Heathrow for connectivity with Aer Lingus!

I would expect Ryanair to start filing their flights for the upcoming winter season around May.

Aer Lingus already have their Winter flights up.

Although Cork Airport won’t announce the Winter schedule until around August

I’m sure they’d be well chuffed with that

Yeah…. plus they'll fill every single plane. Big catchment area for connections, just like Cork.

Did I miss something? Schiphol is already twice daily with KLM.

Much better write up, certainly doesn't like like there will be any extra frequencies from KLM anyway. Wasn't there an article a few months ago where niall mccarthy said KLM were to double their services?

KLM has announced that it will increase its capacity on its twice daily services from Cork to Schiphol. The service will now utilise two aircraft on the route, an Embraer 190 and now also the larger Embraer 195 E2, which will mean increased capacity of around 20 seats.
