Cork Airport to close for 10 weeks for multi-million runway upgrade

It is planned to reopen the airport ahead of what is hoped to be a busy Christmas period

The main runway at Cork Airport, the second-busiest in the country that is set for significant resurfacing work.

Cork Airport has announced the dates of its 10-week closure this autumn to facilitate a complete upgrade of its main runway.

As first reported by the Irish Examiner in March, the airport announced an extended closure to all fixed-wing aircraft operations from early September until November while the runway 16/34 is dug up, rebuilt and upgraded.
