Airport’s charter services ‘not satisfactory’

KERRY Airport, which last year had a slight drop in passenger numbers, is falling behind in relation to charter services, the airport’s annual general meeting has heard.

Kerry Airport chairman Denis Cregan said charters had the potential to increase passenger numbers going through the facility to 50,000, if operated to standards applying at Cork and Knock airports.

But charters flying from Kerry did not seem able to sustain operations from one year to the next, he told yesterday’s AGM.
