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.
The MD recently made it clear the fee is currently key to funding €8m operating costs. But they appear to be saying they could become self sufficient at the 1.2m passenger mark. Hopefully the detail of the report will be published soon, some politicians manoeuvring to put their stamp on it.
