Just a week after a sharp increase in passenger numbers was confirmed, Kerry Airport has now been approved a significant €1,423,000 in funding.
This government funding,under the Regional Airports Programme 2021-2025, provides targeted support for vital safety and security operations at the airports such as air traffic control, fire services and security, ensuring airports can continue to remain compliant with regulatory requirements in these areas.
Funding this year to regional airports – Kerry, Donegal, Ireland West and Shannon – will total over €11 million.
Confirming the boost, Minister for Education and Kerry TD, Norma Foley, said it will deliver further vital financial supports to Kerry Airport.
“With a particular focus on safety, security operations and air traffic control, this funding reinforces the importance and value that government places on the vital role of our regional airports and how connectivity directly supports tourism and enterprise in Kerry,” she remarked.
