Business is flying at Cork Airport

Over 60,000 passengers are expected to travel through Cork Airport this August Bank Holiday weekend.

Numbers are up by seven per cent from this time last year in Ireland’s fastest growing and most punctual airport, with this Sunday set to be the busiest day for both arrivals and departures.

Managing Director at Cork Airport, Niall MacCarthy, said: “There are eight new routes added to our summer schedule this year: Dubrovnik, Nice, Lisbon, Naples, Poznan, Budapest, Malta and London Luton.

“We also have over 50 routes currently on to the UK and Continental Europe.

“These routes, along with daily long-haul connectivity through major European hub airports, ensures Cork holidaymakers have some fantastic destination options this coming weekend, and for the remainder of the 2019 summer holiday season.”

As part of Cork Airport’s Bank Holiday Weekend festivities, free flights will be up for grabs at Douglas Court Shopping Centre’s Spin and Win promotion tomorrow.

Passengers travelling this weekend are advised to arrive at least 90 minutes prior to their flight and go directly to the security screening area once they have checked in.
