Operator closed its Galway route which ‘consistently under-performed’ due to competition
Private bus operator Aircoach has recorded a pretax loss of over €7 million this year, new accounts show.
The directors stated that the current year “has seen a significant uplift in turnover as passenger numbers increased and the effects of the coronavirus pandemic are no longer impacting the business as they did in the previous years”. From a cost perspective over the next 12 months, “the environment remains challenging with fuel price volatility and continued high inflation but this is being offset in part by growth and focus in commercial revenues”.
Aircoach operates five key services connecting Dublin Airport with Dublin city centre and its suburbs, as well as non-stop express services connecting Dublin Airport with Cork and Belfast.
