West Cork group urges air strategy

A group of about 450 West Cork businesses has demanded a strategy for the county’s airport that will contribute to the economic success of the region.

The call comes in an open letter on behalf of the Bandon Chamber of Commerce & Bandon Co-Marketing Group, Bantry Business Association, Rosscarbery Business Association, Skibbereen & District Chamber of Commerce, and Clonakilty Chamber of Commerce, which represent approximately 450 businesses.

The group welcomed the recent addition of new routes to Cardiff, Dusseldorf, and London City, and assurances in a recent Irish national aviation policy document, but warned that “now is not the time for complacency”.
