Covid-19 travel curbs left the operator of Cork and Dublin airports with a €284 million loss last year. The company said it lost €284 million “due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic”. Turnover tumbled 69 per cent to €291 million in 2020 from €935 million the previous year. “Dublin and Cork airports lost 27.6 million passengers last year, which is more than 5.5 times the population of the State,” he pointed out. “ The last time that Dublin and Cork airports had fewer than 8 million passengers in a calendar year was in 1994.”
