Niall MacCarthy: Cork Airport is ready for next step of development to take off

Airport's managing director outlines plans for push past 5m passengers annually

 

The past week has been an important one for Cork's transport infrastructure, with the official opening by the Taoiseach of the new platform at Iarnród Éireann’s Kent Station and the launch of public consultation of the Cork Luas light rail system.

These developments are critical strategic infrastructure projects that will significantly enhance connectivity and support the region's growth. With the Easter holidays and key tourist season now underway, Cork Airport, as another vital cog in the transport and tourism eco-system, is ready to welcome summer visitors and play a key role as the main international gateway to the south of Ireland.
