Cork Airport to launch new summer routes to Dubrovnik, Budapest, and Malta

It's April now.

Which means it's only a solid month or so until we can say it's technically summertime. Despite this fact, it being technically summertime doesn't mean that it'll actually be hot - because we live in Ireland and it is perpetually cold here. However, that doesn't mean that we won't all be jetting off on city breaks once the time comes because although we are likely to burn, we still want and need a bit of sun from time to time. And what better place to get a bit of sun that Dubrovnik, Malta, Budapest or a few other places that Aer Lingus and Ryanair will be flying to from Cork Airport this summer? Ideal news all round. Cork Airport launched the details of their summer schedule today including eight new routes. Aer Lingus will operate two new routes: Dubrovnik, Croatia from May 4 to September 28 on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and Nice, France from April 17 to October 23 on Sundays and Wednesdays. The airline's Cork to Lisbon route will also continue to operate twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays. Ryanair will also launch five new routes this year: Naples, Italy from June 2 until August 28 on Sundays and Wednesdays, Poznań, Poland from April 2, Budapest from April 7 and Malta from April 4. Over 2.6 million people are expected to travel through Cork Airport this year, an eight percent passenger increase from 2018. You might as well be one of them.
