Ryanair has announced 30 new jobs will be created at Cork Airport as part of an overall €279m investment by the airline.
The new roles will be filled by pilots, cabin crew and engineers. The jobs will be used to enable the operation of the three aircraft based at the airport over the winter period.
The announcement followed the launch of its autumn/winter schedule, which includes five new routes to Barcelona, Fuerteventura, Paris, Seville and Treviso, along with increased frequencies on another six winter sun routes to Faro, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Malaga, Rome and Tenerife.
Ryanair has continued to benefit from Europe's post-covid pent-up demand despite a cost-of-living crisis putting pressure on consumers' pockets.
The airline is currently operating at 130% pre-covid levels.
Ryanair has 23 routes out of Cork Airport and carries 2.3m passengers a year.
Cork airport predicted it would fully recover its pre-pandemic traffic this year, two years ahead of schedule.
