Cork Airport has welcomed news that Ryanair is to commence a new London Luton Airport route.

The six times weekly service has been announced as part of Ryanair's Winter 2018 schedule.

"To celebrate we are releasing seats for sale from €14.99 for travel from September to January, which are available for booking by Monday midnight (August 27). Since these amazing low fares will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com and avoid missing out," said Robin Kiely, Head of Communications at Ryanair.

Niall MacCarthy, Managing Director of Cork Airport added: “Cork Airport strongly welcomes today’s Ryanair announcement of a new year-round service to London Luton from October and we encourage passengers across the South of Ireland to use the new service."
 
The new route comes as Cork Airport is forecasted to see further growth of 4% this year, its third successive year of traffic growth as Munster’s busiest and best connected international airport.
