County council wants old airport terminal to be sold to airline

COUNTY councillors are expected to put pressure on Cork Airport management to lease or sell-off the old terminal on the site to a low-cost airline.

It is expected they will unanimously back a proposal which will be brought before the council in a fortnight’s time by Cllr Christopher O’Sullivan in an attempt to increase traffic at the airport.

The FF councillor said having the terminal lying idle was doing nobody any good and the airport should be trying to make money out of it, especially as they have incurred a huge debt building the new one.
