Knock Airport welcomes FlyGlobeSpan apology

Ireland West Airport has welcomed a statement by FlyGlobeSpan apologising for what are described as extraordinary delays.

Management at Knock Airport has said it hopes the airline's position on resolving outstanding issues for passengers has been clarified and that the Scottish carrier is committed to improving its transatlantic services.

This apology follows uproar over delays on the Knock-New York route recently in which passengers were stranded in the US for a week.
