It was announced today that Cork Airport has seen further growth of 9.6% in May compared with the same month last year. 
 
Passenger numbers are up across all markets with a 15.5% increase on routes to and from Southern Europe, London routes are up 10.2%, UK Provincial routes are up 5.0% and Northern European routes up 2.2%.
 
Growth is projected to continue through the summer months into the autumn as Cork Airport benefits from additional traffic on new summer services including Dusseldorf with Aer Lingus, Madrid with Iberia Express, Leeds and Southampton with Aer Lingus Regional among new summer services this year. 
 
Managing Director at Cork Airport, Niall MacCarthy said, "I’m delighted with the growth figures for May and year to date, which confirm we’ve had 65,000 additional passengers so far in 2016 versus the same period last year."

He added, "Based on anticipated bookings and capacity looking ahead, we are forecasting total passenger numbers of 2.25 million people travelling through Cork Airport this year. This will be an increase of 8% over 2015 numbers."
