I note your view on goverment support for noc is somwhat different to snn.....any reason why
Because Knock isn't about to be bailed out to the tune of €100 million.
To be fair, if Shannon needs a smaller Knock sized subsidy in the first few years to aid the transition that's fair enough, this changeover cannot be achieved overnight - but surely if Shannon is having its very significant debts cleared the Government needs to get some assurance that they won't just go and build similar debts up again.
Just to clarify, I'm not having a dig at Shannon or anything here, grand airport, used it regularly when there were no Scottish flights to/from Knock, but it has to live within its means like every other airport. Galway is evidence of what must be allowed to happen if an airport does not do this.
No idea why my post is coming up before yours by the way...I'm not psychic, this was posted at 1:12 pm.
