Cork Airport has celebrated the formal launch of its new TUI-operated route to Corfu, with summer flights to the Greek island starting last Friday.

The new service, which will operate weekly as part of Cork Airport’s 2025 Summer Schedule, will provide the opportunity to connect with TUI Marella cruise holidays on the Mediterranean, departing from Corfu. 

Tara Finn, Head of Aviation Business Development & Communications at Cork Airport said: “Corfu is a wonderful addition to the ever-expanding route network at Cork Airport. This is our second Greek island destination that has been added in the past two years and it offers, yet again, more choice for consumers from across the South of Ireland. TUI Ireland provides excellent connectivity and very attractive holiday packages to some of our most popular sun destinations. I’d like to thank TUI Ireland for their continued confidence in Cork Airport and we look forward to working with the team to grow and expand their operations here.”

Charlotte BrennerMarketing Manager at TUI Ireland“We’re delighted to celebrate our inaugural flight from Cork to Corfu today. This new route offers a taste of the Greek Islands and delights for the people of Cork and surrounding counties this Summer. The flight also allows for seamless connections with Marella Cruises’ exciting itineraries from Corfu, giving holidaymakers even more of Greece to explore from Cork.” 

Along with Corfu, TUI will operate three other services from Cork Airport this summer – to Reus (Thursday), Palma de Mallorca (Saturday) and Lanzarote (Sunday). All services are weekly. The new Corfu service will operate each Friday until September 12 next.
