Aer Rianta allowed the old terminal, capacity 1.1 m to cater
for 2 million per year before deciding to do something about it. It now has a throughput of 2.7m.
If the same attitude prevails in the future the new terminal will also handle far more pax than it can cater for. Maybe somone in the distant future will then decide that it needs a further extension.
Add in a parrallel taxiway, airbridges a possible runway extension and above all the need for additional parking stands and we see that Cork is in need of a major influx of investment if it is ever to reach its potential.
