Shannon base closure sparks call for controls on Dublin Airport

COUNCILLORS in Limerick have unanimously backed calls for traffic controls on Dublin Airport, after Aer Lingus closed its base in Shannon.
At a special meeting this week, members unanimously passed the pushing for a suite of measures proposed by Mayor Michael Collins, responding to the move by the national airline to shut its local base in a move which will cost more than 100 jobs.
“Since Shannon was separated from the DAA, it was the second fastest growing airport pre-Covid. It grew its passenger numbers by just over 300,000, while Cork grew by almost 250,000. Dublin, however, grew passenger numbers by 13.8 million winning 96% of all new passengers into Ireland. That is not sustainable for airports outside of the capital and policy needs to be introduced to ensure this market monopoly does not continue in recovery or other airports will struggle to survive,” said Mayor Collins.
