Due to its size, the convoy delivering the new airbridge required approvals from An Garda Siochána. The new airbridge was constructed by Thyssenkrupp and was transported from Spain. He added: “Our existing airbridge, which is at stand 9, is being optimised by Aer Lingus on its 12 daily flights and the addition of the second airbridge is very welcome.” It is a strong endorsement of our commitment to continuously improving the overall passenger experience and ensuring we are positioned for new airline partners in the future, particularly in preparation for the impending transatlantic route.” Niall MacCarthy, Managing Director at Cork Airport welcomed the arrival of the airport’s second airbridge: “The new airbridge marks a significant milestone for the airport as we return to positive passenger growth. The airbridge has been installed at aircraft parking stand 8 and following some power and systems testing, will be operational over the coming weeks. The new airbridge, the second at the airport, represents an investment of €450,000 and is aligned with the passenger growth at the airport. Cork Airport has installed a new airbridge to help meet demand due to passenger growth.
