Travel between Cork and Derry has been a challenge ever since the flights were discontinued. As someone who resides in Cork and has family and friends in Derry, the absence of a direct flight has made it incredibly difficult to stay connected.

I remember the times when traveling north was so convenient; a quick flight would bridge that gap between two vibrant cities on opposite ends of the island. Unfortunately, without a direct route, the only viable option now is a long drive that is not feasible for many, especially given the rising costs associated with fuel and the wear and tear on vehicles.

There is no direct public transport linking Cork and Derry, which emphasizes the necessity of reinstating the flights. These flights not only foster personal relationships but also have the economic benefit of linking businesses, promoting tourism, and invigorating local economies by creating jobs and boosting retail and hospitality sectors.

Sign this petition to urge airlines and authorities to bring back the direct flights. Together, we can rebuild this crucial connection and make intercity travel convenient once again.
