Cork Airport (Irish: Aerfort Chorcaí) (IATA: ORK, ICAO: EICK) is the second-largest international airport in Ireland, after Dublin and ahead of Shannon. It is 6.5 km (4.0 mi) south of Cork City centre,[1] in an area known as Farmers Cross.[5] In 2018, Cork Airport handled 2.39 million passengers,[6] growing by over 8% to 2.58 million in 2019. Following a decline during the COVID-19 global pandemic, which saw passenger numbers fall to 530,000 in 2020,[7] numbers in 2022 rose to 2.24 million.[8]
Cork is the state's second-busiest airport in terms of passenger numbers, after Dublin, and third busiest on the island of Ireland, after Dublin and Belfast International.
