Statements
The acting managing director at Cork Airport, Roy O’Driscoll, said, “Amongst the 27 routes available from Cork Airport this winter, the jewel in the crown of our schedule is undoubtedly our new route to Rome, complemented by the continuation of services to Milan and Venice. The enhanced connectivity to some of Italy’s largest cities, each important centres of commerce and tourism, will offer Munster passengers even more fantastic options for a winter getaway.”
The head of Visit Cork, Seamus Heaney, welcomed the enhanced connectivity and the benefits that it will bring for tourism in Cork, Munster, and the south of Ireland, saying, “As an island, Ireland needs good air connectivity for the movement of both people and trade. The connectivity between Cork, Milan, Rome and Venice is a positive move for the region, as it opens up great possibilities for Italian visitors to explore Cork and the south of Ireland.”
