Cork Airport recorded strong passenger numbers in April, with 250,030 travellers arriving and departing from the airport. 

As a result, the airport has revised its 2023 passenger forecast upwards, with 2.6m passengers expected to fly this year. This would see the airport back to pre-pandemic passenger levels.
