Airport asked to freeze charges until debt resolved

MANAGERS at Cork Airport have been asked to freeze all airport charges until the controversial debt issue has been resolved.

The call came yesterday after weekend reports that Cork Airport Authority (CAA) is considering a range of steep hikes should it have to shoulder some of the costs of its new €160 million terminal.

The CAA has proposed a 900% increase in airline's check-in desk fees from €3,000 to €28,000 per annum.
