Ryanair to add a load of additional routes from Cork Airport

Ryanair will add five new routes flying from Cork Airport next year.

The new services will be available in summer 2019 and will serve routes across France, Spain, and Italy such as Barcelona Girona, Barcelona Reus, Bordeaux, Carcassonne and Milan Bergamo. They will also add new routes to Budapest, Malta, London Luton, Naples and Poznan. The airline’s new service to Naples will also launch a month early in June 2019, extending into August. Niall MacCarthy, managing director at Cork Airport, welcomed the announcement, saying:

“These destinations offer Ryanair customers in Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Waterford, and the entire South of Ireland region, the opportunity to enjoy a great summer holiday next year while experiencing the award-winning customer service synonymous with Cork Airport. “We will deliver our fourth consecutive year of growth in 2019 with a further increase of 7 percent. I am confident of further positive announcements as our business development team is working continuously to make that growth happen.”

These additions will bring Ryanair's route number up to 22 from Cork Airport, starting next summer. The airline expects to see 1.1m customers through Cork Airport next year as it grows its Cork traffic by 20 percent.
