Kenny Jacobs shared, “Cork was once again Ireland’s fastest-growing airport in July, with passenger traffic up 15pc compared with July 2024. While there’s lots of good work being done to improve public transport connectivity at Cork Airport, the need for additional parking has become apparent to all. It’s a clear example of how a local authority can support its airport as a strategic asset—not just in terms of sustainability, but by enabling the conditions for jobs, investment, and long-term regional growth.”
