Airport passenger grateful for dry run

MY wife and I flew to Spain from Cork airport last Saturday.

To our welcome surprise, our Aer Lingus flight to Madrid was boarded via the sole airbridge at Cork airport’s smart new terminal.

It was a wet morning and it was a treat to use this new facility for the first time instead of being blown around on a wet and windy ramp.

We felt almost like VIPs strolling down the airbridge to the aircraft in the dry and it marked a good start to our weekend break.

Other passengers with reduced mobility will welcome this basic but important facility at a frequently wet airport.

So, top marks to Cork airport authority for the airbridge and to Aer Lingus for finally treating some of their Cork passengers with as much comfort at home as they do at their outstations in Europe and the US.

All that remains now is for the airport authority to finish the job and put in the other airbridges without further excuse and delay.
