‘Fundamental threat’ to Cork Airport’s future as Dublin plans to cut charges

The sustainability of Cork Airport is “fundamentally threatened” by plans to cut airport charges at Dublin Airport by 22%, it has been warned.

The airport’s managing director, Niall McCarthy, said he was “extremely concerned” at proposals by the Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR) to cut average passenger charges at Dublin Airport to €7.50 per passenger between 2020 and 2024.
