Cork Airport - Flights Cut

Aer Lingus confirmed it is suspending the Cork to Brussels service for the winter from October 27. It had operated twice per week last winter. The Cork to Munich service has been reduced from two flights per week to one, from December 20 until the end of March, when it will revert to two per week.
The Cork to Malaga service has reduced from three flights per week to two per week between November-March when it will revert to three per week.
Cork MEP Deirdre Clune said the Aer Lingus decision was a disappointing blow as it was important for Cork to have a direct connection with the European capital.
“Cork Airport has been working hard providing incentives and marketing the region so this decision is unfortunate,” she said.
“It underlines the importance of Cork’s connections with London and Amsterdam. They are becoming more important as hubs for Cork travellers.”
Cork TD Jerry Buttimer urged the new Transport Minister Paschal Donohoe to hold an urgent meeting with Cork Airport management so that the Minister can be made aware of challenges and opportunities facing Cork Airport.
The news comes as Ryanair unveiled a new business service for its passengers giving flexibility on ticket changes, an increased baggage allowance and priority boarding as part of their ongoing campaign to improve their image.
