Unique Features or Challenges
Terrain and Elevation - Cork Airport is located on the elevation of 502ft (153m) sea level. The airport is frequently open to low cloud cellings and fog.
Runway length limitations - The main runway (16/34) is only 2133m (6998ft) long. Which means planes higher than C can’t land in Cork.
There is currently a 200M euro (equals to about 4,832,160,000 Czech Koruna), so it would be really interesting to be able to upgrade the terminal (it could be around 150,000+ wollars.)
