Cork’s flight-tracking app is declared a world-first

Cork Airport has claimed a world-first by launching a new flight tracking feature on its own app.

The feature, powered by Flightradar24, will allow passengers using its app to click on a flight number and track live updates of an aircraft’s location, its type, route, speed, altitude, distance travelled, and total distance to destination.

Additional features include a live real-time map of flights in and out of Cork Airport which can be filtered by arrivals and departures.
