Excellent news for Cork Airport: Irish airline Ryanair has just announced its wish to reintegrate the Irish airport… and to invest a budget of $200 million in its redevelopment on site.
Let’s face it: the news caused a minor earthquake in the airport transport sector. Such a financial investment is sure to put a smile back on the faces of Ireland’s tourism and transport industries… until now left behind by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Ryanair is now fully asserting its ambitions. Although weakened by colossal dry losses (also caused by the pandemic), Ryanair intends to fully restore its pre-pandemic traffic at Cork airport.
This investment will provide more than 20 routes to the Irish airport by summer 2022, and create thousands of jobs…
An effective way of revitalizing the Irish city’s airport business, and boosting tourism throughout Ireland!
Excellent news, especially as Cork airport is currently closed for works. It is due to reopen by November 22, 2021, with new runways and a redesigned capacity to accommodate the Ryanair fleet.
This is the perfect opportunity for travellers with legs to tingle to get to the west of Ireland, to discover County Cork, Co. Kerry, Co. Clare or Co. Galway. As for prices, they should follow the same logic as before the pandemic: Ryanair is counting as usual on low-cost fares to boost its business. Perfect for travellers who want to visit Ireland without breaking the bank!
And what are you waiting for? Fancy a trip to the Ring of Kerry or Connemara?
