Cork Airport has awarded the main construction contract for the rebuilding of the airport’s main runway to Colas Limited.
Around 250 construction and supply jobs will be created during the project, including several local specialist sub-contractor roles.
Mobilisation and preparatory site works will begin at night immediately, without impacting the airport's summer flight schedule; the main construction works will follow on a 24/7 basis over a 10-week period from September 13.

Construction of the new runway will be completed by November 22 in advance of the busy Christmas travel period.
