Ryanair's new twice-weekly service to Rome will take off on Monday, October 31, forming part of Cork Airport's biggest ever winter schedule.

The inaugural flight will depart Cork Airport at 06.15am and the service will operate Friday and Monday.

In addition to the new service to Rome, Ryanair will operate twice-weekly services to Milan (Bergamo) Airport and Venice (Marco Polo) Airport. Previously seasonal routes, services to both Milan and Venice will now operate year-round. The service to Milan will operate Tuesday and Saturday, while the service to Venice will operate on Wednesday and Saturday.

Cork Airport said over the course of the winter season, over 1.1 million seats will be available across 27 routes, served by five airlines.

Acting Managing Director at Cork Airport, Roy O'Driscoll said the enhanced connectivity to some of Italy’s largest cities, each important centres of commerce and tourism, will offer passengers options for a winter getaway.

Head of Visit Cork, Seamus Heaney welcomed the connectivity and the benefits it will bring for tourism in Cork. "As an island, Ireland needs good air connectivity for the movement of both people and trade. The connectivity between Cork - Milan, Rome and Venice is a positive move for the region as it opens up great possibilities for Italian visitors to explore Cork and the South of Ireland."
