Just 70 passengers per day travelled through Cork Airport in May 2020 compared to some 7,700 per day over the corresponding month last year, the Oireachtas Covid Committee will tomorrow hear.

Delegations from the country’s airports and airlines are to appear in front of the Oireachtas Covid Committee — the three airports under the control of the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) including Cork Airport are currently losing €1 million a day because of the travel restrictions.
