Cork Airport has launched its 2018 summer schedule, with almost two million seats now available to over 40 destinations.
Cork Airport is forecasting a 5% growth in passenger numbers over the summer months, compared to the same period last year.
Several summer routes kicked off at the end of March, including Aer Lingus’s services to Barcelona and Faro, while Ryanair’s Cork to Faro also commenced, along with its Palma de Mallorca offering.

Spanish carrier Volotea operates its Cork Verona route every Saturday (26th May to 6th October), with an additional flight on Wednesdays during peak season, commencing 27th June.
This is the first full summer season for Norwegian’s non-stop transatlantic flight to Boston Providence, providing Irish travellers easy access to popular holiday US destinations such as Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod and Nantucket.
Aer Lingus adds an additional 8,000 seats to and from Cork this summer, expanding its Cork to London Heathrow route, as well as flying to popular holidays routes such as Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Alicante, Tenerife, Faro, Rennes, Barcelona, Düsseldorf, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria.
