Ryanair excludes Cork from its ski schedule

LESS than a week after Ryanair pulled out of two routes from Cork Airport, the airline has dealt the airport another blow by announcing it would be launching no ski routes from there this winter.

The airline yesterday announced what it said was its biggest ever winter ski programme with the launch of its 2008/09 schedule, containing 101 routes. The airline’s new ski schedule amounts to a 40% increase in the number of routes it operated in its 2007/08 programme, Ryanair claims.

The airline extended this year’s ski schedule to April 19 to include the Easter holidays.
