The number of passengers using Cork Airport will grow by double digits this year, with numbers expected to reach more than 3m, the Daa’s chief executive Kenny Jacobs has said.

It follows one of the busiest years ever recorded by the airport in 2023 when 2.8m passengers passed through the terminal, one of the busiest years since the end of domestic flights from Cork, highlighting the strong return to business and tourist travel following the covid restrictions.
