Transatlantic bid moves a step closer

CORK Airport has moved a step closer to securing transatlantic flights at the airport.

The Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) has approved a long- haul route incentive scheme for Cork airport – the first time in the history of the airport that such an incentive will be offered to long-haul carriers.

The airport’s marketing manager Kevin Cullinane said it’s not a matter of “if”, but “when” Cork Airport will be offering long-haul flights.
