the 1st
of

Aerlingus
flight
departing

with new
terminal
in
backgroundThe
new
terminal
is
designed
to cater
for the
expected
3
million
passengers
this
year and
has the
capacity
to
expand
to take
up to 5
million
passengers
a year.
In time
4 air
bridges
will be
in
operation,
but for
the time
being
only 1
air-bridge
is in
operation.
The
terminal
has an
increased
number
of
shops,
bars and
restaurants,
including
a Subway
and a
Starbucks.
The
terminal
design
allows
for pier
extensions
at the
side to
boost
the
capacity
to more
than 5
million
passengers
per

the need
arises.
When
this is
achieved

may be
added to

at Cork
