The Connaught Telegraph reports this week that a 35 million euro investment package (phased over an extended period) for IWAK is to be recommended in the airport report. Funding source to be split between central government and local authorities. Obviously this is only a small fraction of what Shannon recieved a year ago but I would rather see a smaller amount wisely invested in the airport than a huge amount wasted if the proposals get government approval.
I wonder would the focus be on route development, terminal and apron expansion or would the airport management consider removing the departure fee to entice more passengers to use the facility. At 3 million euro a year, it would be a brave decision to remove the fee.
