Passenger services at Dublin and Cork airports are to be scaled back as a result of a reduce demand for flights due the coronavirus pandemic. The number of flights operating at Dublin was down 22 per cent on Wednesday compared to the same day in 2019. DAA chief executive, Dalton Phillips, said passenger flights would continue to be facilitated in Dublin and Cork for as long as they continue to operate. DAA has advised all passengers intending to use Dublin and Cork airports to contact their airline in relation to specific flights. Mr Philips said the company had no choice but to begin to scale back passenger operations at both airports given the rapid decrease in the number of people on flights in and out of Dublin and Cork in recent days.
