Flights challenge

THERE will be flights from Knock to New York and Boston by FlyGlobeSpan beginning in May.

Where are the movers-and-shakers for Cork airport? Surely, it could generate greater numbers than Knock and Cork county would be helped economically with flights to and from New York and Boston.

Having recently lost a ferry service to the UK, surely the Cork airport authorities should become more proactive in acquiring direct services to and from the US.
