The Director of Shannon Airport, Mary Considine has described the
green-light for the Gort-Tuam motorway under the Government stimulus
programme as a significant boost for passengers across the wider West of
Ireland.
“The announcement by Government that the Gort to Tuam
motorway will proceed under its major stimulus programme is very
positive news for passengers and our airport alike.
“The completion of the motorway to Galway and further to Tuam will
significantly enhance travel times to and from Shannon Airport for our
existing catchment and also open up a wider market for our services.
“Shannon, which this summer has services to 33 destinations, has for
over 65 years been the premier gateway for passengers into and from for
the West of Ireland. Today we remain the only airport on the entire
western seaboard with transatlantic services and connectivity into one
of Europe’s four major hubs, Heathrow so this improvement in the road
network will benefit many people accessing our services.
“Improving accessibility to our airport with this motorway extension is a
really significant development. We very much welcome the announcement
and the exposure of our services to a wider market that it will bring.”
