Cork Airport welcomed 309,000 people through its terminal last month, representing a bumper April with a massive 27% customer increase on a year-on-year basis.
Kenny Jacobs CEO of daa, the operator of both Cork and Dublin airports, said: “Cork Airport’s passenger numbers grew by a whopping 27% in April, compared with the same month last year. Cork Airport has started the year strongly, with four consecutive months of growth and the airport continues to cement its position as the fastest growing in the state. Great new routes continue to land at Cork and this month will see TUI’s new flight to Corfu, Aer Lingus’ new flight to Bordeaux and SunExpress’ new flight to Izmir all starting.
“More and more passengers from across the south of Ireland are choosing to fly from Cork, attracted by its growing route choice, friendly service and fast-moving security queues. The team at Cork is playing a blinder and we’re excited about increasing passenger numbers even further over the rest of this year and beyond. We’re planning for this growth with the announcement last week of a €200 million investment by daa Group in Cork Airport’s Capital Development Plan – a blueprint for large infrastructure projects which will grow Cork’s passenger traffic even more over the coming decade.”
