The queues are already minimal.

But now Cork Airport, in conjunction with Ryanair, has installed a series of new self-service, express bag check-in kiosks aimed at shortening check-in queue times even more.

The new kiosks, which are located on the ground floor of the terminal building, allow passengers to weigh, tag and check-in their bags – all by using the Ryanair app on their mobile phone.

Over the coming weeks, ground handling staff will be on hand to assist any passengers with the new technology. Passengers are advised to download the Ryanair app before arriving at the airport.

Ryanair currently operates 29 summer routes from Cork Airport and will introduce three new winter routes – Barcelona, Fuerteventura, and Paris Beauvais later this year.

“These new self-service bag tag and drop kiosks will make that famous customer service at Cork Airport even easier and faster again for our Ryanair passengers,” said Dorothy Coffey, General Manager – Operations, Safety and Facilities at Cork Airport.
