Cork Airport In Public Vote For New Route
Cork Airport has been shortlisted for a European-wide public vote to be named as a new route for German airline Eurowings, commencing in Winter 2018/2019.
Eurowings is a subsidiary of Lufthansa and has opened the first round of its 'Vote & Fly' competition, which will run for one week until March 12, 2018.

Commenting on the competition, Niall MacCarthy, Managing Director, Cork Airport, said: "We are delighted to be included in the shortlist of European airports, and the win would be a major boost to the region as well as the whole of Ireland.
"I'm urging everyone to take the time to vote for Cork Airport over the next week, and get us into the final three. We need the public's support to land this wonderful opportunity to secure a new route for the south of Ireland."
