"Proud"
In a statement on Cork Airport's website, the airport's head of communications, Kevin Cullinane, said, "Cork Airport is proud to play such a vital role in getting people to where they need to be over the festive season. With over 50 routes on offer from Cork, including new routes and extended services this winter season, the airport offers greater choice and flexibility for those choosing to fly through Cork Airport.
"2019 has been a fantastic year of growth for Cork Airport, and we extend our thanks to our customers, airlines and stakeholders.

This will rise again in 2020 by a further 5%, with routes serving the UK and continental Europe as well as multiple daily long-haul connections worldwide through major European hub airports served from Cork."
