Ryanair warns of delayed return to flights from Cork due to runway works

Cork Airport had planned to revamp the runway  next year, but the decision was made to undertake the work this year as very low demand for international travel is expected to continue.  Picture: Larry Cummins

Cork Airport is "fully committed" to finding workable solutions for airlines, as management at the airport prepares for a multimillion-euro runway overhaul.

The assurance comes as Ryanair warned pilots that the works could impact the reopening of its base in Cork this summer because of the timing of the maintenance. It is due to begin on July 5 and may take place nightly from 9pm to 6am.
