Low-fares Polish airline takes off with two new routes out of Cork

A LOW-FARES Polish airline is planning to launch two new routes out of Cork Airport targeting the region’s growing Polish population.

Centralwings, a subsidiary of LOT Polish Airlines, will begin operations out of Cork to Krakow, in southern Poland, and Wroclaw in the west from October 31 — around the time of schools’ mid-term breaks.

It is estimated that there are up to 66,000 Polish nationals with Irish PPS numbers living in the Munster region with up to 20,000 living in the greater Cork area alone.
