SUPPORT CORK AIRPORT

2005: the Irish Government was pushing to make Cork, the "second biggest cities of Ireland", grow as one of the European Cities of Culture Designation, to highlight the richness and diversity of European cultures and the features they share and promote greater mutual acquaintance between European Union citizens. Cork Airport was enhanced, flights were increased and Cork could be reached from all Europe. Ten years later Cork Airport is threaten to be closed? Where is this aim going to end? We've experienced massive increase of the prices for the flights departing from Cork, but most of all the cutting of too many flights. Some of the biggest companies in the world are based in Cork, many of which employ foreign people. This involves flying back home often, and having relatives and friends calling over. In the perspective of growing culturally and economically, and of enriching the diversity of the city with foreign influences, how can the cut of flights to the major capitals of Europe, and the monopoly of Aerlingus and Ryanair could help managing the growth? Or should we think that only Lanzarote and Tenerife are Europe?
