Airport hopes to secure humanitarian aid base deal
It is also hoping to be the European base for the distribution of humanitarian aid worldwide and is working on securing this. This would result in extra revenue for the airport through landing and storage charges.
According to hotelier and chairman of the Shannon region of the Irish Hotels Federation (IHF), Michael Vaughan said the airport does not need independence from the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) but it does need to have the right to run its own affairs.
