CityJet axes Cork to London service after just eight months

Cork Airport and business leaders have expressed disappointment after CityJet blamed lack of demand for its decision to axe its Cork to London City Airport service from June 26 after just eight months.

CityJet’s chief executive chairman, Pat Byrne, said the demand for the 18 flights a week service was just not there in sufficient volume and at a sustainable price.

Niall MacCarthy, airport managing director, said airlines have to make decisions based on the commercial viability of routes.
