Cork Airport has confirmed the dates for its planned closure this autumn to facilitate an upgrade of its main runway.
The airport will close from September 12 to November 22 inclusive in order for the “largest construction project to be undertaken since the building of the new terminal and ancillary buildings in 2005” to be completed.
Cork Airport’s only jet-capable runway has been in operation since 1961. Originally 1,883m long, it was extended by a further 300m in 1989, and its only overlay since its construction was in 1999.
