A petition to introduce flights between Bristol and Cork will see some happy petitioners today (Tuesday) as Aer Lingus announced a new route between the two centres, starting from April 28. The airline said it will operate six flights a week, daily except for Saturday.
Ciaran Smith, head of commercial at Emerald Airlines which is the exclusive operator for Aer Lingus Regional route network, said: “Today’s announcement is a much anticipated one and will no doubt be warmly welcomed by passengers travelling for both business and travel pleasure purposes. We are progressively bolstering our 2023 schedule across 28 routes and 17 destinations in Ireland, UK and Channel Islands.”
Commercial director at Bristol Airport, Rupert Lawrie said they were looking forward to welcoming Emerald Airlines to Bristol. He said: “This partnership further strengthens the air links between the South West of England and Ireland and extends the options available to customers in the region when selecting to fly from their local airport.”
