Minister Indicates Interest in Shannon Facilities | clare.fm
The Minister for Transport says that there are a number of airlines interested in doing business with Shannon Airport once the Border, Customs and Pre-Clearance facilities are in place.
Noel Dempsey was in Shannon on Friday meeting a delegation from the US on forging business links between America and the Mid West Region
Minister Dempsey said that he believes a fundamental change in attitude by people will form an essential part of the economic recovery of the region
He also revealed that there are a number of airlines from America and the UK that have expressed an interest in Shannon Airport for the pre-clearance facilities it will offer for passengers travelling to the US.
Would be nice to see some more airframes on the ramp even if only for pre-clearance. Though if airline(s) were to land for pre-clearance and pick up passengers it would expand the options for getting to the US.
