Cork Airport has reported a robust beginning to 2026 with positive passenger figures and operational performance in the opening weeks of the year. The announcement highlights sustained demand for flights from the Munster region supporting both leisure and business travel.
This strong start builds on previous growth trends and reflects confidence in Cork as a key gateway for tourism to southwest Ireland including attractions in Kerry and West Cork. It underscores the airport role in facilitating inbound visitors and outbound holidays during the early part of the year.
Shared in a written statement the airport management emphasised the encouraging momentum and its implications for regional hospitality and visitor economy sectors. No specific passenger numbers for January or February were detailed in the release but the tone indicates continued upward trajectory.
The update coincides with other enhancements at the airport aimed at improving overall travel experiences and positions Cork Airport as a vital contributor to Ireland tourism recovery and expansion.
