Fears Ryanair may cut part of Cork summer schedule

Concerns have been raised about Ryanair’s 2015 summer schedule out of Cork Airport amid fears that 23,000 seats could be lost.

Several of the routes it planned to operate next summer — to Milan, Carcassonne, Barcelona, Girona, Alicante, and Pisa — are not available to book on its website for August 2015, and the airline’s Cork to Bordeaux route is not available to book for the entire summer 2015 season.

It has sparked fears that some of routes will only operate for a nine-week period in June and July, resulting in a further decline in the airport’s passenger figures.
