Ryanair announces summer sun routes from Cork

Ryanair has announced that it will open seven new summer sun routes, and temporarily base one additional aircraft at Cork for the 3 peak months of June, July and August, to offer Cork consumers competition and choice for summer sun fares.
 
Ryanair’s seven summer sun routes from Cork to Alicante, Barcelona (Reus), Bordeaux, Faro, La Rochelle, Lanzarote and Malaga will deliver an additional 40,000 passengers through Cork airport in just three months. However, Ryanair indicated that year round growth at Cork would not be possible due to the Irish Government’s €10 tourist tax and rising charges at Cork airport.
 
Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:
 
“Ryanair’s seven summer peak routes will mean that for the first time the people of Cork can escape to the sun by availing of Ryanair’s guaranteed lowest fares.
 
“We urge passengers to book them immediately on ryanair.com.”
