The statement published on Corporate.Ryanair.com quoted its head of communications, Jade Kirwan, as saying, “As Cork’s number-one airline, Ryanair is delighted to operate our first flights from Cork Airport to Seville, in Spain, and La Rochelle, in France, this June bank holiday weekend, as part of our biggest-ever summer ’23 schedule.
“These two exciting new routes – to Seville and La Rochelle – add to our 27 routes currently operating to/from Cork Airport this summer, including our new Venice and Rome routes, offering our customers in the south of Ireland even more choice and at the lowest fares when booking their summer ’23 getaways.
“This record schedule is underpinned by Ryanair’s three based aircraft at Cork Airport, which represent a $300 million investment and support over 1,300 local jobs while driving invaluable inbound tourism for the region, too.
“We look forward to welcoming even more customers onboard our flights to/from Cork this summer, as Ryanair continues to deliver more traffic, connectivity, and lower fares than any other airline for Ireland.”
The statement published on Corporate.Ryanair.com also quoted Cork Airport communications manager Barry Holland as saying, “This June bank holiday weekend will see the addition of two new summer routes – to Seville, Spain, and La Rochelle, France – from Cork Airport. These two new Ryanair destinations will offer even more choice for passengers from across the south of Ireland when booking a summer getaway.
“Seville, the capital city of the Andalusia region, in southern Spain, is known for its stunning architecture, authentic Spanish cuisine, and rich history. La Rochelle, on France’s idyllic western coastline, is a thriving maritime city, located in the splendid surrounds of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. With its picturesque harbour, charming old town and lively street cafes, La Rochelle is a city that is both elegant and vibrant.
“This year, Cork Airport will serve over 2.6 million passengers, thanks to Ryanair’s continued commitment to Cork Airport and the expansion of their network with the addition of these two fantastic new routes.”
