Leasing key to Cork Airport, says European Affairs Minister

Cork Airport should position itself as a global aircraft leasing hub to take advantage of the multi-billion euro industry, according to European Affairs Minister Dara Murphy.

Last week, the airport closed a deal with Weston Aviation to open a new business aviation centre there.

The imminent arrival of the UK-based aviation company which will provide the first hangar service for executive aircraft at the airport is an opening success for management at Cork Airport in developing ancillary revenue streams which are crucial to its future success.
