Go-ahead for bus link from Kent station to airport

THE Government has finally given the green light to a private company to operate a new direct bus service linking Cork’s Kent railway station to the airport.

The Department of Transport has granted the licence to successful private bus operator, Skylink, almost a year-and-a-half after it applied.

The company, which already operates an express bus service linking the airport to the city centre seven days a week, has just completed the final certification procedures for the new service and hopes to get buses on the route within weeks. The timetable has yet to be announced.
