More than 474,000 passengers have travelled through Cork Airport, Ireland’s fastest growing and most punctual airport, in the first quarter of this year. According to new figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) released today, Cork Airport has seen the biggest increase of all Irish airports in passenger numbers, up 10.7% when compared to the same period last year.
Commenting on the new figures, Managing Director at Cork Airport, Niall MacCarthy said:
“It is extremely positive to see that close to half a million passengers travelled through Cork Airport in the first quarter of the year and that this growth momentum has continued well into the second quarter. With over 50 routes on offer direct from Cork Airport, along with multiple long-haul options through the major international hubs across Europe, there has never been greater choice.
