Dublin & Cork Airports Increase in Popularity while Shannon Declines

Cork Airport and Dublin Airports recorded increases in traffic in February 2019 while Shannon Airport saw traffic decline.

Our favourite Irish Airport, Cork Airport, had 151,000 passengers up 14,000 on February last year an increase of over 10%.

Dublin Airport set a new February record with more than 2 million passengers flying through the airport, a 9% increase on the same time last year.

Shannon saw passenger numbers drop in February. A spokesperson for Shannon Airport, when contacted by the Clare Echo, attributed this reduction largely to the loss of the Kuwait Airlines transit flights which first began in 2016 as a temporary service and ended in January 2019.
