Extra Cork Airport flights good timing for rugby supporters

Extra flights have been added and bigger aircraft are being drafted in to Cork Airport ahead of the Rugby World Cup.

Flybe, which launched a year-round Saturday flight from Cork to Cardiff in June, has added a Tuesday service ahead of Ireland’s opening match in the Rugby World Cup against Canada in the Welsh capital in three weeks’ time.

The announcement is part of Flybe’s route network expansion, as the airline adds 22 more flights to seven key destinations from Cardiff.
