2.24 million travellers used Cork Airport last year, an increase of 86% over 2019 and a 768% increase over 2021 traffic.
45 scheduled routes operated last year across 8 airlines along with additional charters and destinations.
The airport claimed that, in addition to its successful runway reconstruction, which was finished in November 2021, it delivered “exceptional” passenger recovery in 2022 because of strong demand for international travel and the addition of new routes.
Niall MacCarthy, the managing director of Cork Airport, said, “After two years of Covid-19, we were delighted with the strength of the recovery at Cork Airport in 2022.”
“We welcomed back eight scheduled airlines together with charter airlines and served 2.24 million passengers.
According to current statistics, 96.8% of travellers passed through security screening at Cork Airport in less than 15 minutes in 2022.
“Our team works very hard at Cork Airport, to make the passenger journey seamless, friendly, and easy,” said Mr MacCarthy.
“The passenger satisfaction scores of 9.2 out of 10 reflect this,” he added.
