Cork Airport Hits 2M Passengers | Ireland News

Cork Airport celebrated a milestone double-header yesterday: hitting two million passengers in 2026 and marking the 20th birthday of its main terminal, which has welcomed over 47 million travelers since opening in 2006. Despite record-breaking August Bank Holiday crowds—72,000 passengers alone—they beat last year’s pace by days. The terminal’s enduring modern vibe is thanks to smart design, but staff are the real stars behind the smooth experience. Upgrades are underway, including a new mezzanine and security area later this year, with future plans for more gates and a new pier—all aimed at scaling up to five million annual passengers and beyond.
