Nearly 200,000 passengers used the airport despite disruptions from Storms Ophelia and Brian.

197,316 passengers came through the the airport, which is Ireland's news and second busiest international airport.

Cork Airport’s Managing Director, Niall MacCarthy said: “Consistent passenger growth is in direct correlation to the ongoing success of our routes across Europe and now to Boston Providence.

"Cork Airport has endeavoured to support the growth of our routes, through collaboration with local, national and international tourism and business stakeholders.”
