Air traffic continues to plummet at Cork, Shannon and Dublin Airports

Cork Airport has echoed calls for the Irish Government to sign up to the proposed EU traffic light system. 

Cork airport handled less than 500 flights last month, compared to more than 2,000 in the same period last year.

New figures released by The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) show Cork airport suffered the sharpest decline in commercial air traffic last month, with similar declines recorded in other airports.
