Cork Airport has welcomed the announcement that Aer Lingus Regional, exclusively operated by Emerald Airlines, will fly a new four-times weekly service to Glasgow from October 27th next. Tickets are now on sale, with the airline also announcing that it will expand its services to Bristol. This will therefore bring the existing six-times weekly service up to a nine times weekly service.
The new year-round service to Glasgow will operate on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.
Glasgow, situated on the River Clyde, is Scotland’s largest city by population and home to 1.8 million
people in the wider metropolitan area. Famous for its vibrant nightlife, impressive architecture, intriguing museums and superb shopping centres, Glasgow makes for a great city break destination. Beyond the city centre, Glasgow is the gateway to some of Scotland’s most scenic regions including the Clyde Valley; Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park and Ayrshire & Arran.
Aer Lingus Regional will operate the Cork to Glasgow route using an ATR 72-600 turboprop aircraft.
As a result, the route is significantly more environmentally friendly than regional jets and other turboprops, emitting 40% less CO2.
Additional services to Bristol come in response to growing demand from passengers and underscores
Aer Lingus Regional’s commitment to providing more flexibility and convenience, with a second daily
service on Friday and Sunday, along with a new Saturday service.
We love the Aer Lingus Regional brand at Cork Airport. It now serves two vibrant UK cities, along with the
Managing Director at Cork Airport, Niall MacCarthy
eight destinations served by the Aer Lingus mainline brand. We are growing strongly, both inbound and outbound, from Cork Airport and more routes and greater connectivity are always welcome, proving that flying from Cork is the easiest flying experience in the country.
Cork Airport will serve over three million passengers this year. We are very ambitious to continue to

again in 2025 and expect more announcements in the months ahead. Thank you to Aer Lingus
