IWAK chairman thanks public representatives

Chairman of Ireland West Airport Knock Liam Scallon this week thanked the region’s public representatives for making representations to the Minister for Transport in relation to securing €285k in grant aid for the airport to subvent its significant operational costs.

Joe Gilmore, managing director of IWAK, added: “While we are not an airport that wishes to be dependent on grant aid, this allocation will be particularly helpful as the business enters a difficult and challenging winter period, with projected losses forecast.”

Mr Scallon ended by saying: “The airport has made huge strides to cut costs, grow income, expand and add value to the economy. It is a core public service for the region, run with minimal cost to the public purse, and therefore this vital support from the Exchequer is a welcome sign of acknowledgement of the work being done to continue to provide and improve air access to and from the West, North West and Midlands regions of Ireland.”
