Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion

Mr. Kenny Jacobs:

A huge amount of effort is being put in. We have a very good team in Cork Airport. Within that, we have a business development team. They would, for example, have been at the recent Routes global aviation event, where you go and talk to airlines and try to convince them to come to your airport. We were there and we will continue to do that.

We will be announcing new exciting routes coming to Cork in the near future, which is really, really good, and we will continue to work hard on that. As I said, Cork will have its biggest ever year for international traffic, which is really, really good. Ultimately, I want Cork Airport to grow by 40% or more in the same period while Dublin is growing by 25%.
