Cork Airport and its airline partner Aer Lingus have launched new self-service platforms at the airport following a €200,000 capital investment. The automated self-service technology includes six self-service kiosks and two self-service bag drops.
The new services allow Aer Lingus passengers to check-in for flights through common-use self-service kiosks.
