TUI has announced a new route from Cork Airport to one of Europe’s top sun holiday hotspots. The new flights will launch next summer.
The package holiday company returns to Cork Airport from May to operate a new weekly route to Palma Airport in Majorca. The route will operate every Tuesday from May 18 until August 31, 2027.
Palma de Mallorca is one of the most popular destinations from Cork Airport, with daily flights and two airlines – Aer Lingus and Ryanair – operating the route for Summer 2026.
Not only will it be another option for holidaymakers jetting off to the Balearic Islands, but TUI is also promoting its Marella Cruises. A range of popular Mediterranean sailings depart from Palma, with itineraries that include stops in Spain, France and Italy.
A range of beach holidays to Majorca will be available from TUI as part of its new Cork to Palma service, as well as packages for popular Marella Cruise and Stays deals, which combine a Majorca beach holiday with a cruise itinerary..
TUI’s Head of Ireland, Katrina Barry, said: “We’re delighted to introduce the Cork to Majorca service from Cork for Summer 2027, giving Munster holidaymakers even more choice when planning their next sunshine escape.

Tara Finn, Head of Aviation Business Development & Communications at Cork Airport, added: “Mediterranean cruise holidays remain incredibly popular with Irish consumers and make for fantastic holidays. It is wonderful to have the TUI team here in Cork today for this new route announcement: Cork – Palma, flying in Summer 2027.
“TUI is a valued partner, and we’re delighted to see the popular tour operator return to Cork Airport for next year’s summer season.”
