KERRY Airport will receive Government support in the Budget measures announced yesterday.
Minister of State for International and Road Transport and Logistics, Hildegarde Naughton said the State will provide exchequer support of €31.3 million for regional airports.
“Under the Regional Airports Programme €21.3 million will be provided in 2021. This programme will ensure ongoing regional connectivity through our Public Service Obligation (PSO) air services on two routes, Donegal/Dublin and Kerry/Dublin as well as enabling the progression of a number of diverse capital projects at our smallest regional airports – Donegal, Kerry and Ireland West,” said Minister Naughton.
Shannon and Cork Airports will have access to capital funding under a separate €10 million Exchequer-funded programme.
