Cork Airport has become the first Irish airport to make Google Indoor Street View feature on Maps available for all public areas of the airport.
The innovative service allows passengers to take a virtual tour of the inside of the Cork Airport terminal building.
According to the gateway, the launch of the new Google Maps service is one of two significant digital initiatives to further improve the passenger experience at Cork Airport, as it has also launched a new free iPhone and Android App, which is the essential guide to the full range of services at the airport.
The Google Indoor Street View of Cork Airport uses over 840 stitched images, allows passengers to explore the check-in areas, departure and arrivals halls, shops and restaurants before they even get to the airport.
Once they are inside the airport, passengers are able to instantly identify where they are and navigate their way around. The link to the tour is at: http://goo.gl/062CBX
