There’s a busy weekend in store at Cork Airport.

More than 41,000 passengers are set to travel through the hub in the coming days, with figures indicating a recovery of 82% on the same period in 2019.

Easter was the busiest holiday period of 2022 so far with over 60,000 passengers travelling through Cork Airport, a strong indicator that passengers in Cork and the South of Ireland have a strong appetite for international travel again.

In fact, Ireland’s second busiest airport will have welcomed almost 200,000 passengers over the month of April.

Along with the busy Easter period, the May bank holiday indicates a strong return of consumer demand for international air travel from Cork Airport.” said Acting Managing Director at Cork Airport, Roy O’Driscoll.

“We intend to build on this strong start to 2022 as we expect to welcome over two million passengers this year.”

With over 40 scheduled routes available from Cork Airport this summer, passengers are advised to arrive between 90 and 120 minutes before their flight is due to board.
