Airport chairman unhappy with passenger growth

THOUGH passenger numbers at Kerry Airport have risen by almost 100,000 in the past two years, airport board chairman Denis Cregan says passenger growth is still not satisfactory.

Last year, there was a throughput of 385,000 passengers and this year’s number should be well in excess of 400,000.

Mr Cregan, in an address to be delivered at the airport annual general meeting, on July 11, is also unhappy with the performance of Aer Arann, which provides a daily Kerry/Dublin service.
