Airport expects throughput of 1 Million transatlantic pax over next 5 years
Written by Colm Fitzgerald   
Monday, 14 April 2008

According to a report in the Irish Examiner, Shannon Airport expects to deliver as many passengers into the west of Ireland as Dublin does for the East. Martin Moroney, airport director says that despite the current difficulties facing worldwide aviation at present, Shannon is moving upwards. He feels that the possibility of transatlantic flights from Cork pose no major threat to Dublin, and that Shannon will be the big one after Dublin.

Mr Moroney stated that airlines have shown tremendous confidence in Shannon and they could have "said overnight if they did'nt want to fly in. But they did'nt". While transatlantic pax are expected to grow in numbers, it is also expected to have further short haul services developed to Amsterdam, Heathrow, Munich and London City. He went on to say that the airport is still reeling in the loss of the Heathrow route, but is moving on and talks are ongoing with other airlines, such as BA as to replace the route.

In conclusion, it was stated that 2008 will be a tough year in terms of passenger numbers, and they will probably be similar to last year, but once 2009 comes they will rise steadily. 'We maje no apologies for competing very strongly with Dublin to take away some of their 30 million annual passengers"
