Airport bosses face criticism over operations

MANAGERS at Cork Airport will be asked to defend operations at their new terminal building following a wave of public criticism.

The South West Regional Authority (SWRA) agreed yesterday to invite airport management to the next meeting of its airport’s consultative committee to discuss a range of issues.

The authority, which advises on development issues and strategic planning matters for Cork and Kerry, also plans to invite the chief executive of the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) to attend amid concerns that the Cork Airport Authority (CAA) still does not have enough control over operations at Cork Airport.
