Cork airport offers excellent services

THE suggestion by Peter Levy that Shannon could serve as a second airport for Cork (County, August 28) ignores the fact there is already an excellent facility within a few minutes’ drive of Cork city.

The airport has scheduled and charter services to a range of British and European cities and has excellent connectivity to international hubs such as London, Amsterdam and Paris.

Mr Levy asserts that the runway at Cork is too short and that the airport is often closed due to low cloud and fog.
