In some ways nothing has changed for Knock. Shannon has been bailed out by the Government but all along, year in and year out it was being bailed out by the DAA and before them by Aer Rianta. If they go down the road of throwing money at airlines to fly there they will again become a financial basket case. Knock has grown to this level in spite of all these bail outs. The priority now should be for it to attract a hub carrier to LHR, CDG or AMS as well as growth in its sun destinations once the economy starts to recover.
Flights geared towards inbound tourists are proving very difficult to sustain at all of the airports outside of Dublin.
