No more endless Googling arrival times.

Whether you’re collecting someone from the airport or heading off on holiday yourself, you can now double-check all flight information for Cork Airport via WhatsApp.

The airport has developed a WhatsApp alert service that provides real-time information on departing and arriving flights, departure gate numbers, baggage, and other key information. Passengers, along with those meeting and greeting, can easily obtain the most up-to-date flight details and create an alert on the status of a flight, with an option to track it on FlightRadar24.com.

Over the course of the pandemic, Cork Airport recorded an increased number of queries from departing and arriving passengers, particularly around Government travel advice, international travel restrictions, and testing requirements.

With a view to guaranteeing a rapid response time on queries, a brand-new webchat facility was also deployed last week. This new service allows passengers to easily locate the latest flight information, COVID-19 related guidance, car parking, and other key information – on a 24/7 basis, 365 days a year.

“As we expect over two million passengers at Cork Airport this year, I would encourage our loyal and valued passengers and those meeting and greeting them, to try out this new feature,” said Cork Airport Managing Director, Niall MacCarthy.

“We will continue to bring more innovation to our services at Cork Airport, to enhance and to ease the passenger journey at Ireland’s friendliest airport.”

Both the webchat and WhatsApp facilities can be readily accessed on corkairport.com.
