Ireland: Cork Airport expects over 111,000 extra passengers this year
Cork Airport expects passenger numbers to grow by more than 111,000 this year as new services, including Norwegian Air’s transatlantic flights, take off. The gateway’s head of communications, Kevin Cullinane, said Thursday that 50,000 people will travel through there over the Easter weekend. In 2016, Cork reported that passenger numbers grew 8% to 2.23m. It expects this to grow by a further 5%, or 111,500, this year as several new routes are launched. Cork will get its first transatlantic service when Norwegian Air International begins serving Providence, Rhode Island from the airport next July. Wow Air is also planning to fly to Reykjavik from Cork this summer. This will offer connections to 10 cities across the US and Canada. <br/>
