KLM, the Dutch airline, has announced the launch of a third daily flight service from Cork Airport to Amsterdam, scheduled to begin in late October.
This addition is part of KLM’s expanded winter schedule, which includes 32,000 more seats compared to the late 2024 and early 2025 period. However, the service will be suspended during the slower winter season, specifically from January 4 to February 20, 2026.
KLM attributes this additional Cork flight to strong demand for global connections through Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, one of Europe’s largest hub airports.
The airline has been operating routes from Cork since 2020 and currently offers two daily flights to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
Jerome Salemi, General Manager of Air France-KLM for the UK and Ireland, stated that increasing the KLM flights between Cork and Amsterdam to three daily services, “highlights once again our commitment to the Munster Region and the south-west of Ireland”.
“This complements our recent announcement of the year-round Air France services between Cork Airport and Paris Charles-de-Gaulle.”
Tara Finn, head of aviation business development and communications at Cork Airport, said the addition of 32,330 seats to Amsterdam will “boost inbound tourism and provide more business and leisure connection options out of Cork”.
“We are delighted with this expansion by KLM and look forward to further growth opportunities with the Air France-KLM group.”
