Cork Airport has scaled back hours of operation, but is continuing to facilitate scheduled flights by both Aer Lingus and Ryanair, which are mostly carrying Irish Citizens making their way home. The Airport also remains open for any possible MedEvacs, emergency landings, and to allow connectivity with Ireland’s offshore gas network.
