Cork Airport expects to cater for 53,000 passengers across the upcoming St Patrick’s Bank Holiday weekend; representing the one of its busiest weeks this year.
The passenger numbers are set to be a mix of people jetting overseas for a long weekend holiday, others heading to the Cheltenham Festival and/or Ireland’s final Six Nations match against Italy in Rome; and those from overseas coming into Ireland for the St Patrick’s Day festivities.
This coming Friday (March 14) is expected to be the busiest day of the weekend at Cork.
Managing Director at Cork Airport, Niall MacCarthy said: “We in Ireland are blessed to have a national day which is known the world over and a branding which resonates in every country without prompt.
“St Patrick’s week starts the tourist season and we at Cork Airport have a feast of traditional music and song to celebrate our national culture and to welcome visitors and locals together to Cork. For outbound passengers, we have additional resources supporting our operation to ensure the standards of service this year remain as good as our passengers expect. From all of us at Cork Airport, Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh go léir!”
