Further development of Dublin Airport would be “unfair” to the people of the county and the country’s other airports.
Further development of Dublin Airport would be “unfair” to the people of the county and the country’s other airports, a leading expert in aviation has claimed.
“We need proper regional development and I believe that the regional airports - like Donegal, Kerry, Knock, Cork and Shannon - are critically important for balanced development.”According to CSO data, in the third quarter of last year, Dublin Airport handled 83% of flights to and from Ireland, with Cork in second place with 8%.
"In 2023, you had approximately 1.3 million people in that year alone using Knock, Donegal and Kerry Airports,” he said. “You don’t have any rail access there, you’ve got poor road access there and the air access is the only real access that you have if you need to connect reasonably quickly in and out of Donegal.
