CORK AIRPORT ANNOUNCES ARRANGEMENTS FOR HEINEKEN CUP FINAL PASSENGERS
19 May 2008
Cork Airport is gearing up for what is
expected to be one of the busiest days since the new terminal opened in August
2006.
Over 3,000 Munster rugby fans will travel
through Cork Airport next weekend as they fly out to support Munster in their
bid to win the Heineken Cup in Cardiff on Saturday, May 24th.
To ensure that fans get the special day
off to a great start, management at Cork Airport is issuing the following
advice:
All special rugby charters on May 24th
will operate from the Main Terminal building.
As traffic is expected to be extremely
busy, please arrange to be dropped to the Airport, if at all possible. If you
must bring your car, please car pool and use either the short term multi-storey
or long-term car parks.
Please allow plenty of time for check-in.
Airport management advises passengers to arrive at Cork Airport a minimum of 90
MINUTES before their scheduled departure time.
Check In for flights will close 40 MINUTES
before the scheduled departure time of the Rugby Charter flights.
Please bring all relevant travel
documentation with you to the Airport. Intending passengers are reminded to
bring their own valid Passport, which must be presented at check-in.
Please pay attention to all announcements
advising of flight details to ensure that there are no delays during the
morning.
Passengers are requested to comply with
all security and safety measures at Cork Airport, which are implemented for the
safety and security of all passengers.
Please limit the number of carry-on items,
as this will ensure timely departure. In this regard, please limit carry-on
items to one small backpack.
Munster Supporters’ flags are most
welcome. However, any item which has the ability to be adapted for causing
injury to another passenger will be confiscated.
All passengers are asked to bear in mind
that the Terminal building will be extremely busy on Saturday due to a very busy
schedule of regular and holiday charter flights. To ensure a safe and
comfortable journey, we ask all passengers to follow the instructions of our
uniformed ground staff at the terminal to prevent overcrowding.
There are Travel Value Shopping, ATM,
phone top up, internet access, café, bar, toilet, bookshop and newsagent
facilities provided in the Departures Area after the Passenger Security Area.
We wish all our passengers a safe
journey on May 24th, and enjoy the match!
