General: |
Small 1960's regional airport. |
Appearance: |
Cork is about to undergo a massive improvement scheme to increase capacity. At the moment the airport is small, very small. Despite that it is a friendly, welcoming and easy to use airport. |
Inbound
Domestic
Planes arrive and do as close to a parallel park as you are going to get from a jet. Short walk into the terminal building and straight to the baggage reclaim (flights only come in from other EU destinations so the passport desks are not currently staffed). Through a very small customs hall and into the main part of the airport and out onto the forecourt for Taxis or Buses.
International
Domestic and International flights are all treated the same
As the flight was within the EU I did not have to go through immigration.
Small and basic area but the baggage came round relatively quickly.

Half hourly bus/coach service into the city centre leaves from the front of the airport.
Outbound
Domestic
Cork has less than 20 check in desks, 4 gates and a single departures lounge with one shop and one bar/coffee bar. Process through the airport is very quick as everything is on top of itself.
