About Cork International airport departures
Cork Airport is located in Ireland and is the second largest airport in the country after Dublin. It is located just 4 miles south of town in the Farmers Cross area. The first Cork departures were operated by Aer Lingus in 1961. It has grown from 10,000 passengers to 2.5 million passengers per year. Over the past 60 years, the airport has expanded with updated check-in, offices, runways, hotel and more. It has also been named one of the best airports in Europe several times, with no more than 5 million annual passengers. Cork is located on Ireland’s south coast, where the River Lee flows into Cork Harbor, a deep inlet from the sea. The airport regularly suffers from bad weather conditions. In that case, planes divert to Shannon, Kerry or Dublin.
