The CEO of Kerry Airport, John Mulhern, said: “Now that we have secured the route, it’s crucial that all sectors of the tourism industry in Kerry should work together to attract visitors from the northwest of England to experience our wonderful county. All the key information about this fantastic new route into Kerry Airport will be shared at the workshops – how stakeholders can best capitalise upon it for your business and what they need to know about the UK market.”
