PJ Hegarty to Deliver First Phase of Cork Airport’s Capital Development Project

11 Sep 2025

PJ Hegarty has been awarded the contract to deliver the first phase of Cork Airport’s €200 million Capital Development Plan, marking one of the most significant projects at the airport in almost 25 years.

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.

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.

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.”
