Cork expansion depends on better terms

Ryanair has said that it would still “love” to continue growing its services at Cork Airport, but stressed that expansion is wholly reliant on the airport improving its commercial terms.

Speaking yesterday, the airline’s marketing manager, Kenny Jacobs, said the company would seek to continue growing at both primary and secondary airports around Europe.

With regards to Cork — and, to a lesser extent, Kerry — he said that customer demand and sufficient airline capacity are in place, but it comes down to the airports having the right “commercials”, with improvements needed. However, he added that Ryanair is always talking with Cork.
