Cork Airport’s new mezzanine floor and state-of-the-art security screening area are scheduled to open on December 4 as part of the airport’s €200 million capital development plan. Taoiseach Micheál martin will perform the official opening. Key Features of the Upgrade include:
- New Security Technology: Features five Smith Detection C3 X-ray CT scanners that generate detailed 3D images, allowing passengers to keep liquids and electronics inside their carry-on bags.
- Enhanced Flow: Includes automated entrance gates for boarding pass scanning, a dedicated fast-track lane, and a special assistance lane.
- Additional Facilities: The mezzanine project also incorporates a larger executive lounge and an expanded duty-free area, alongside a refreshed arrivals level below with new car hire facilities and an arrivals café.
- Broader Campus Plan: Future milestones include expanding the Holiday Blue car park by 600 spaces and constructing Ireland’s largest solar carport.
