Ryanair Announces New Route From Cork Airport

Cork Airport

Cork Airport has welcomed the announcement from Ryanair that the airline is to add a new twice-weekly service to Faro, Portugal. The route will begin next winter.

“Expanding routes from Cork Airport is always a priority, so we are delighted to see Ryanair giving customers an even wider selection of destinations to choose from during the next winter season,” commented Kevin Cullinane, Head of Communications at Cork Airport.

The new route comes as Cork Airport is seeing strong passenger growth, with numbers up 4 per cent in 2017, and a further 4 per cent growth forecasted this year.

The service to Faro is one of nine routes Ryanair will operate from Cork in the winter. Others include a daily service to London Gatwick, a weekly service to Gran Canaria and a twice-weekly service to Malaga. Cork Airport continues to work with Ryanair to further develop new routes.
