Cork Airport (EICK)

Cork (EICK) is an H24 IFR airport with a 7000 ft runway and ILS at both ends. No SIDs or STARs are used; flight plans should use the CRK VOR as start and end points, with vectors to the ILS and direct clearances common in practice. Handling is required for arrivals from certain airfields, including unlicensed ones, and is typically provided by South Aer Services or Weston Aviation. Handling at South Aer includes access to their apron south of the main terminal, with a short walk to car transport, though parking may sometimes be distant from the terminal and ground transport can be inconsistent.

Handling fees vary: Example: handling about €70–€100. Example: handling about £130. Landing fees and airport charges are separate; Example: landing fee about €10. Avgas (100LL) is available from Atlantic Flight Training Academy. Maintenance support can be arranged through South Aer, who have assisted with engineering issues.

Communication with handling agents may be unreliable by email; phone contact is more effective. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
