PJ Hegarty has been appointed to deliver the first phase of Cork Airport's €200 million Capital Development Plan.

The contract involves major works within the terminal building and marks one of the largest construction projects at the airport in more than two decades.

The works will see the construction of a new mezzanine floor within the terminal building. This development will create a state-of-the-art security screening area, featuring the latest C3 technology, and a reconfigured arrivals zone with brighter facilities, new café/bar, and upgraded car hire services. The mezzanine will also include a larger executive lounge and an expanded duty-free shop, enhancing the overall passenger experience at Ireland’s fastest-growing airport.

Maurice Killeen, Southern Region Operations Director, PJ Hegarty, commented: "We are delighted to have been awarded this significant contract by daa, which will further enhance the facilities in Cork Airport and its growing reputation as a transport hub of choice. 2025 marks the 100-year anniversary of our founding in Cork and it is very appropriate that we continue to form new partnerships in the region with a client as progressive and ambitious as Cork Airport in our centenary year."

The project forms part of daa's €200 million investment programme at Cork Airport, which also includes new boarding gates, airbridges, aircraft parking stands, a long-term car park extension and a 1.7MW solar farm.
