Ireland West Airport Knock has increased passenger numbers in Early 2015

Posted in Connect on April 10, 2015.

Ireland West Airport Knock Passenger numbers are continuing to increase through 2015.

The first quarter (3 months)of this year saw 113,000 passengers travelling through the Mayo airport – which is a 13% increase on the same period last year.

Managing director Joe Gilmore says there’s increased demand particularly on flights to and from the UK – partly due to the sterling rate.

Mr Gilmore says they’re looking forward to a busy Summer season, following on from one of the busiest-ever Easter weekends.

He has also welcomed the announcement earlier by Minister Michael Ring of a grant of almost €250,000 towards vital security equipment for the airport.
