Harbour Air plans sea plane service for south-west

PLANS are being drawn up to provide the south-west with a sea plane service by the end of next summer.

Two Cork men are among the four directors of Harbour Air Ireland which is planning to launch its first service in the west of Ireland next February.

Engineer Emelyn Heapes, one of the directors, said it was hoped to land a 19-seater Otter plane in the River Lee near Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
