SPONSORED: Eight new routes out of Cork Airport for summer 2019

Eight new routes have taken off this summer from Cork Airport, Ireland’s fastest growing and most punctual Airport. There are over 50 routes on offer from Cork Airport, along with daily long-haul connectivity through major European hub airports.

New routes include Aer Lingus’ summer services to Dubrovnik and Nice. This is also the first summer season for the airline’s Cork to Lisbon route. Ryanair has five new routes this summer — Naples, Poznań, Budapest, Malta and Luton Airport. 

Cork Airport Managing Director Niall MacCarthy said: “The new routes are among the top requested destinations from our passengers. Their addition to the 2019 schedule gives Limerick holidaymakers even greater destination choice this summer.”

For holidays in France, Cork Airport connects to Bordeaux and Carcassonne (Ryanair), Paris (Aer Lingus and Air France), and Rennes (Aer Lingus). For lovers of Italy, Milan-Bergamo can be reached by Ryanair and Verona by Volotea.
