Call to restore Waterford-Gatwick route
Wexford deputy mayor Cllr Joe Ryan said yesterday all possible efforts should be made to increase air traffic between the regions, adding that Waterford airport was well placed to serve Gatwick, one of the world’s busiest transport hubs.
The Labour Party councillor welcomed Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary’s continued support for an air link between Shannon and Heathrow, but said that “what makes sense in the mid-west also makes sense in the south-east”.
