Cork Airport - Give 10m to Compete

CORK Airport is not operating on a level playing field when it comes to securing new routes or maintaining existing ones, Cork Chamber has said.
Following the loss of the Brussels flight this winter the business representative body said Cork should be provided with an annual grant of approximately €10m to allow it to offer the same type of deals that Shannon Airport can to attract new routes.
When Shannon Airport was made independent two years ago more than €100m in debt was written down by the Government.
It has allowed the airport to offer new airlines zero charges on an ongoing basis while Cork can only do so on a sliding scale over five years with zero charges in year one increasing to full charges in year five.
