Suitcase packed?

Passengers intending to travel through Cork Airport this weekend are advised to arrive at least 90 minutes before their flight and pre-book their car parking.

The travel hub is set to welcome over 57,000 passengers this June bank holiday weekend, as post-primary schools break for summer holidays and thousands of passengers take off for beach breaks. Thousands more from the UK, Continental Europe and further afield will touch down in Cork over the coming days, to holiday here.

Ryanair will also commence operating new summer routes to Rhodes and Zadar. The service to Rhodes starts this Saturday (June 1st) and will operate twice weekly (Wednesday, and Saturday). The new service to Zadar in Croatia starts on Monday (June 3rd) and will also operate twice weekly (Monday, and Friday). Both services will operate until the end of October.

Direct flights to two popular French cities will also make a return this month as Ryanair services to La Rochelle and Carcassonne recommence over the coming days.

“Summer has really kicked off at Cork Airport.” said Niall MacCarthy, Managing Director at Cork Airport.

“We’re seeing strong loads, both inbound and outbound, across all our routes. When you experience the convenience of Cork Airport, we are confident you will not want to fly from any other Irish airport. If you’re living anywhere in Munster or south Leinster, we’re only a short hop away.”
