We’ve operated to/from Cork for over 37 years now, during which time we have invested heavily in the region, including our 3 Cork-based aircraft which represent a $300m investment and our support of over 1,500 local jobs. We look forward to continuing our positive relationship with Cork Airport to further deliver important regional development, connectivity, jobs, and year-round tourism in the years ahead.”
