Reprieve for airport as company continues service

A REGIONAL airport which was threatened with closure has been thrown an eleventh-hour lifeline.

Waterford Regional Airport has been given a late reprieve following yesterday’s announcement that Euroceltic Airways intends to continue its service to London.

The future of the airport was thrown into doubt before Christmas when the airline announced it was withdrawing its daily services to London Luton airport after accumulating losses of 1.1 million.
