We are currently exploring how Manna’s Air Delivery service could work in Cork, following interest from independent retailers and from people locally who have asked us to consider bringing the service to the area.

In every community where we have launched, the service has helped ease pressure on local businesses, reduced traffic, and cut carbon emissions by replacing short car, scooter, and moped trips with electric aircraft. It is a small but meaningful way to make everyday life more convenient, more sustainable, and more local, and we believe Cork is well suited to benefit from this type of progress.

When we introduce the service to a new area, we typically create around 35 to 50 jobs, many of which are filled by people living in the surrounding community.

All of our operations are conducted within Ireland’s aviation regulatory framework and in line with the highest European safety standards. We work closely with aviation authorities and airspace managers to ensure strict operational and safety requirements are met before flying begins.

We understand that new technology naturally brings questions. Air Delivery is still new for many people, which is why we focus on providing clear and honest information about how it works, how it is regulated, and how we operate safely and transparently.

Over the past six years we have operated in communities including Moneygall, Oranmore, Balbriggan, and Blanchardstown, continually investing in improving the service. Feedback and testimonials from customers show positive impacts for young families, older residents, and people with mobility challenges who value the convenience and accessibility it provides.

Warm regards,

Bobby Healy
