With connectivity to Shannon Airport diminishing, especially in the winter season, Cork Airport is becoming more and more of an option for North American visitors to Ireland. While Cork Airport has no direct traffic with North America, it has much much more connectivity with European hubs than it’s County Clare counterpart. In fact for many US departure cities there is more one-stop connectivity to Cork Airport than there is to Shannon.
Cork Airport has direct connections to all the following hubs, that in turn have non-stop connections to the USA and/or Canada:
