Airports ‘to stay publicly owned’

MINISTER for Transport Leo Varadkar has said “it is intended that Cork and Shannon Airports will remain in public ownership”.

Airports ‘to stay  publicly owned’

In his first public comments on the future of the airports since receiving the Booz consultants’ report on the airports last month, Mr Varadkar added “but that is not to say that there cannot be private sector investment and involvement in the airports in a way that is not the case currently”.

However, uncertainty over the future of the airports is to continue for a number of more months. This follows Mr Varadkar confirming that he is to engage with unions and potential investors before making a final decision on the future of the airports.
