Cork Airport has celebrated the start of a new four-times weekly year-round service to Glasgow, operated exclusively by Emerald Airlines on behalf of Aer Lingus Regional, flights will operate on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.

Glasgow is a very welcome addition to our UK Provincial network and complements our existing Edinburgh service. Glasgow has so much to offer – it’s rich history, vibrant arts and music scene, fantastic food, and great shopping experiences. It’s also great to see the addition of more services to Bristol, and I’d like to thank Emerald Airlines for their continued growth at Cork Airport.

Equally, the added capacity on our Cork to Bristol route reflects our continued commitment to meeting the needs of our passengers.
