The airport terminal is shrinking

THE letter from Tom Kelly (Irish Examiner, January 12) in relation to the facilities at Cork airport underlines the fact that all is not well there.

For years Aer Rianta and, more recently, Cork Airport Authority have been appeasing dissatisfied airlines, passengers and the general public by pointing to the new terminal that is finally due to open in April.

The terminal was designed to cater for three million passengers per year. Early indications are that the airport will easily exceed that figure this year.
