Cork Airport

Cork Airport is located in Rathmacullig West, Farmers Cross, Ballygarvan, Cork. The airport handles about 2.5million passengers per annum and acts as a base for 4 A320 Aer Lingus aircraft, 2 ATR Aer Lingus Regional operated by Aer Arann, & 3 Boeing 737 Ryanair aircraft. Cork Airport is the Republic of Ireland second busiest airport with over 50 destinations. Last year 2.34 million passengers used Cork. After passenger numbers recovered in 2013, it is expected that Cork Airport's number one achievment for the second decade of the 2nd millenium will be Transatlantic Services. At the moment it is hoped that Transatlantic services could begin as early as 2015.

Cork Airport has 20 aircraft parking stands. Infront of the terminal building the four stands have fixtures for airbridges, unfortunately when terminal was being constructed Ryanair refused to use them if they were constructed so therefore they would be lying there and would be a waste of money. Therefore out of the four fixtures only one was constructed. Much of the time it is lying there and it is really only Aer Lingus and charter airlines use it if they park at that stand at all. Ryanair have parked at Stand 9 many times but don't connect to their aircraft to the bridge, stating it delays turn around times and costs too much, as they don't want their passengers paying alot. REALLY: Says the airline who charge €90 for checked in baggage, that can't be 0.01kg over 20kg. That is ridiculous. Use of the airbridge only costs €3.75 per 15minutes in use.

This picture shows Aer Lingus flight EI883 from Málaga using the airbridge.

EI-DVK using Cork's only airbridge at Stand 9.


Cork Airport's current terminal opened in August 2006. This shows Cork Airport's Terminal.

This is the old terminal closed in August 2006, shame to see it lying there, it was great for looking out and watching the planes especially if you had family flying out.
