Cork Airport - Read Mod Note in First Post Before Posting

Looks like the Cork to Edinburgh route is going to two routes a day on Sundays from the end of March.

It also looks like they're expecting Munster to get to the European Cup final in Murrayfield, flights back on the Sunday that weekend are over €200! Don't jinx them lads!

I know someone who went to Liverpool last weekend. He got the Aircoach up early morning Saturday (2am) to catch the flight from DUB. Flew back Sun night and had to face the Aircoach journey back down. There were flights from Cork to Liverpool and return that he could have taken at practically the same time. I think he saved €35 but spent 7 hours on the Aircoach plus the awful time he had to get up at and got home at. Oh and he lives 10 minute drive from the airport. Ludicrous is the only word.

What a misery. Jesus you'd hate to be that perished.

Is City Jet gone from Cork Airport? Was trying to find their flights to Nantes or La Rochelle from Cork this summer and looks like they are no longer running.

Not according to the Cork Airport destinations map.

I wouldn't rely on that.

Jersey is still listed too and that's also cancelled, with Newquay its replacement being shown as well.

but CityJet's website does not show Cork as a departure city even if you move the departure date to June 18th.

Interesting that there is not official news story that they pulled out of Cork.

Cork-La Rochelle moved a grand total of 2,500 people last year, the Bordeaux route moved more per month every month it was operational than La Rochelle did in total. No surprise if it's pulled.

Gamb!t · 19-01-2017 9:59pm

They should definitely expand the Bordeaux route.

The 2017 Summer schedule at Jersey Airport appears to disagree. It shows flights to/from Cork starting on May 6th:

Go ahead and book a flight so on Aer Lingus.

There is none? Surprising.

Jersey is gone, Newquay has taken its place. I don't think there is any news article on this but the service is most definitely gone, airports are always very slow to update information on their websites.

Is holiday blue the cheapest option for parking, will be parking for seven days.

TheDriver · 11-02-2017 10:09am

I find blue much better than red for getting to terminal, you'll always find parking close to ramp down

I always use Cork Air Park Services. They are €5/day and you can get your car washed and serviced while they have it which is dead handy.

A year ago you could park in the multi story long term, now that things have picked you can't.:(

The hot food was unavailable in the bar at gates, didn't ask why but anyone know? Lots of unhappy hungry people.

Read a few days back that they are revamping the food and beverage offerings airside as Part of a 4 million euro upgrade program for the airport. It'll take me some time to find the link, though.

Correct, they're turning it around to offer a bigger offering airside.

TheDriver · 12-02-2017 10:24pm

I used to always use air park services but red is now as cheap and its a pain waiting for bus to be full etc

great move. Always thought having that big restaurant on the wrong side of security was a bad idea.

I've been taken as the only passenger on a CAPS bus on multiple occasions, I've never had to wait for a bus to fill up.

More good news:
Cork Airport saw passenger numbers increase by 6% in January 2017
This is particularly impressive:
The biggest increase in passenger growth was on routes to and from the UK, despite the challenges posed by Brexit. Traffic to and from multiple UK destinations including three London Airports and multiple Provincial cities in England, Scotland and Wales was up 7% to 91,000 passengers from 85,000 the previous January
Especially when you consider that they had to make up to 4k on the cancelled London City as well.

I hope the put speckers in there to hear flight anouncements almost missed a flight last year

Makes for positive reading and a step in the right direction so long as the food court stays open longer.

Surprised Last Call is getting a facelift - this seemed to be aging well and considering it was only refurbished in the past 4 years

Just re drop offs, I wish they would make a third lane outside the terminal building, just move that statue back a bit further (they'd also probably have to put in a retaining wall). Those who have the time to park up will do so anyway, while others are currently circling around to the back of the second lane, causing chaos for the busy times.
