Ground Handling

The DAA is responsible for managing the operation of Cork Airport and for the provision of infrastructure to enable airlines and handling agents to operate efficiently and effectively.

Some airlines provide their own ground handling services (Self Handlers). For example, both Aer Lingus and Ryanair provide Passenger Handling and Baggage Handling services for their passengers.

Other airlines contract the services from specialised ground handling companies (Third Party Ground Handlers)

All ground handling companies are licensed by the Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR) which is independent of the DAA:
