    Ryanair used to do it, but not with connecting flights and with 737s which were way OTT.

    I'm in that camp that Aer Lingus could do a few ATRs per day for connecting flights. But what time of day would be a big thing.

    You’d imagine one early morning and evening would do the trick. They seem to do all the main U.K. cities from cork, no reason to think a Dublin flight wouldn’t be just as full as those

    You don't have a motorway and an hourly train between Cork and any UK city.

    THe motorway killed the Ryanair flights yes, but the train to Heuston and then the 747 bus from there to the airport I reckon would be the poorer option when compared with a flight. Same with Aircoach POSSIBLY.

    And with Dublin traffic getting worse and worse especially along the M50....

    I'd love to see it. And this is not just because I'm moving to Cork soon.

    On that note I'd love to see Cork to Belfast soon but I feel that might be more likely as it would solve land border Brexit issues.

    Dublin local services have nothing to do with Cork Airport!

    I was in Cork airport today for the first time in a few years and noticed the the pub and restaurant upstairs outside security has now been movied airside inside security. Other renovations seem to be happening also next to the Restaurant pub area, I wonder what is being built?

    Sorry to bump this thread but have a question.

    The government announced a package for the airport today and includes €5 million for runway redevelopment. Anyone know what this includes? Are they lengthening it?

    It's being resurfaced.

    And a great time to do that as well with traffic levels so low currently.

    They are. Until April I believe.

    Today Cork airport has exactly zero flights. Did the staff go to work I wonder?

    Planning permission for house 400yards from main runway that was granted by CCC has been overturned by AN BORD PLANALA.

    Which is quite odd, considering a number of houses have been built a lot closer to the runway in the last 10 years.

    Apologies for resurrecting this very old thread but i can't see any more recent general Cork Airport thread.


    Does anyone know if the Ryanair Cork - Naples flights are due to return for the Summer 2022 season?


    These were operating in 2021 but haven't been announced for 2022 yet. I think these were operated by Malta Air in 2021 so obviously not Cork based aircraft so maybe this would mean a later announcement but not sure. Would appreciate if anyone know any more, thanks!

    Just looking at the new runway I'm wondering did they level it out a bit? It doesn't look as much of a slope on the 34 end or maybe its just my eyes deceiving me.
