Tweets of the day:
@HAmarketingPR When @CorkAirport opened in 1961, it was always an ambition to get a #CorkUS Route. We stuck with the challenge says MD Niall MacCarthy.
@questCNN Richard’s interview w/ @Fly_Norwegian CEO: “We will expand US operations…buy #Boeing planes and help #Trump” #QMB.
@RichardRoutes “Freddie Laker, father of low fares across Atlantic with Laker Airways, is smiling from grave,” says @AirPassionate.
@RichardRoutes Increasing capacity offering at global LCCs continues at @WestJet as it confirms place for the #Boeing #737 #MAX-9 in its fleet from 2018.
@seansherlocktd No FF/Lab/SF/Ind invitation to @CorkAirport today. Very disappointing after all of our collective efforts. Why No Pre-Clearance at Cork?.
