Waterford Airport sets sights on €12m lifeline

Glanbia, Coolmore Stud, Dawn Meats, as well as other investors are being asked to put up €5m to help extend the runway at Waterford Airport, with the central government and local authorities stumping up a further €7m, to restart commercial flights in the region.

Local authorities in Waterford, Kilkenny, and Wexford will invest €2m of the €12m to revamp the airport, which has had no commercial flights since 2016.
