Cork Airport Launches 2 new Winter routes with Ryanair for 2024

Ryanair, Ireland’s No. 1 airline, today (2^nd Oct) launched its Winter 2024 schedule for Cork, with 23 routes including 2 exciting new routes to Brussels Charleroi & Rome Ciampino. Ryanair has also added extra Winter flights on 2 of its most popular Cork routes – Lanzarote & Manchester – giving Ryanair customers in the Munster and South-Leinster regions unbeatable choice and regular connections at the lowest fares in Europe.

Ryanair has operated to/from Cork for the past 37 years, carrying over 20 million passengers to date and investing heavily in the region. The vast majority of Ryanair’s record Winter 2024 schedule will operate on the airline’s 3 Cork-based aircraft – 1 of which is a new enviro-efficient B-737 Gamechanger, which cuts CO₂ emissions by 16% and noise by 40% – representing a $300m investment in Cork and supporting over 1,500 local jobs, while driving year-round inbound tourism at the same time.

To celebrate the launch of Ryanair’s record Winter 2024 schedule and 2 new Cork routes, the airline has launched a limited-time seat sale with fares available from just €21.99 available only at www.ryanair.com.
