Cork Airport passenger volume same as in 2005

PASSENGER volume at Cork Airport is likely to be the same at the end of this year as it was in 2005, before the new terminal opened.

Bloxham Stockbrokers analyst Joe Gill said despite spending almost €200 million on a new terminal, passenger volume in Cork could be close to 2.8 million this year, not much more than the 2.7m it processed in 2005.

“The large handball alley, aka the new terminal, in Cork Airport is very quiet,” he said.
