KLM is to expand its operations at Cork Airport with the launch of a third daily service to Amsterdam.
The Dutch airline is to add the new service as part of its winter schedule.
The company says there has been strong demand for flights to Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, as it offers connectivity to other destinations around the world.
KLM has been operating at Cork Airport since 2020.
The General Manager of Air France-KLM UK & Ireland, Jerome Salemi, said the increase in flights between Cork and Amsterdam “highlights once again our commitment to the Munster Region and the South-West of Ireland.”
“This complements our recent announcement of the year-round Air France services between Cork Airport and Paris Charles-de-Gaulle.”
The Head of Aviation Business Development & Communications at Cork Airport, Tara Finn, said hubs like Schiphol are “incredibly important for regional airports, providing essential long-haul connectivity.”
She said the additional seat capacity on the Amsterdam route will “boost inbound tourism and provide more business and leisure connection options out of Cork.”
Recent figures from daa, which operates Cork Airport, showed passenger traffic up to the end of June, increased by 14.5% compared with the same period last year to 1.65 million.
