The Aspire Lounge At Cork Airport

*ASPIRE Lounge Update*

Update regarding our executive lounge facility at Cork Airport.

Preparations are currently underway for a significant course of civil works within the terminal building. These works will involve the construction of a new mezzanine floor over the Arrivals area, and the extended floorplan will be used to accommodate a new passenger security screening area and a new executive lounge.

The new executive lounge when completed in Q1, 2027, will be 30% bigger than the current facility and will incorporate dedicated washrooms for passengers’ added convenience.

With these works expected to start in the summer, the ASPIRE Lounge will close from mid-June.

In the meantime, we are pleased to say that a new, temporary lounge facility will be opened adjacent to the Food Republic food court. This new facility, which will be called “The Kinsale Lounge” will be open in the last week of June and will provide a high-quality food and beverage service for customers.

Passengers using The Kinsale Lounge can expect a buffet breakfast service, including hot and cold options along with pastries and cereals. In the afternoon and evening, passengers can look forward to a lunch and dinner service. A range of alcoholic, non-alcoholic beverages along with tea and coffee will be served.

The Kinsale Lounge will be available for use by frequent flyers and passengers with airline invitation privileges, along with Priority Pass and DragonPass holders. Passengers without frequent flyer cardholders will be facilitated if capacity permits. A full list of eligible invitations is below:

• Aer Lingus AerClub
• KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Flying Blue
• Air France Flying Blue
• Lufthansa Miles & More
• SWISS Miles & More
• Priority Pass Diners Club/Diners Club International
• Priority Pass
• Dragon Pass

These developments are part of our ambitious Capital Development Programme, as we expand our airport and services.
