Shannon Development wants role in any revamped structuring of airport

Shannon Development wants an ownership and operational role in the new Shannon Airport structure.

Vincent Cunnane was speaking ahead of a visit by Transport Minister Leo Varadkar to Shannon today, where he is expected to update the Shannon Chamber of Commerce on plans to overhaul the ownership structure at the airport.

Mr Cunnane also questioned the view that Shannon Airport is a significant loss-maker and said reports on its loss-making “deflects from the opportunity at Shannon”.
