KERRY AIRPORT will be one of the beneficiaries of a €42.5m boost from the European Commission for regional airports across Ireland.
The European Commission has formally approved Ireland’s 2015-2019 Regional Airports Programme, which will support Kerry Airport and other regional airports into the future.
“Kerry Airport is of major importance to support local businesses and to provide a link to the rich tourism offerings in the South West” said North Kerry TD and Minister of State for the Diaspora, Jimmy Deenihan.
Kerry Airport will now make their submissions to the Department of Transport, Tourism & Sport for supports under the Programme.
Ireland’s 2015-2019 Regional Airports Programme permits Ireland to provide financial supports to the regional airports up to a maximum level of €42.5m over the period 2015 to 2019 through the Core Airport Management Operational Expenditure (OPEX) Scheme and a Regional Airports Capital Expenditure Grant (CAPEX) Scheme.
