Aer Lingus: No transatlantic flights from Cork before 2009 — if ever

AER LINGUS yesterday ruled out introducing transatlantic flights from Cork any time soon.

It will definitely not establish the service before 2009, the airline’s director of corporate affairs Enda Corneille said.

And despite clear demand from the public for such a service out of Cork, he said rising fuel prices could delay any possible introduction of a transatlantic service even further.
