‘New belief’ fires optimism at Shannon Airport

Shannon Airport’s chief executive-designate yesterday spoke of “the new belief” since the airport was freed from the control of the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA).

Neil Pakey said his task in leading the growth of passenger numbers from 1.4m a year to 2.5m over the next five years presented a big opportunity.

“Shannon has a very strong brand, internationally, and we should not underestimate this.”
