Kerry Airport is the solution to Dublin Airport’s overcrowding

As Dublin Airport officials continue to object to the passenger cap there could be an opportunity for Kerry Airport.

It is not just passenger numbers that are an issue. Why is Dublin Airport looking to add to an already overcrowded airport – which is in breach of its current planning permission too?

Car parking is now almost impossible in Dublin.

The average Kerry motorist passes close to Kerry Airport – and depending on the route chosen, Cork and Shannon too, to the overcrowded airport.

Dublin Airport is limited to 32 million passengers a year, but officials want to increase this figure.

It's madness!

All these issues should be enough to steer extra passengers away from Dublin and into the regional airports across the country.

Cork Airport has it sussed.

A recent press conference on Cork Airport’s economic impact announced a new scheme which will incentivise airlines to bring new routes to the Rebel County should they be unable to secure space in Dublin.

DAA chief executive Kenny Jacobs said: “There is no restriction in Cork Airport so if ten airlines tell us they wanted to move aircraft to Cork because of this incentive when they can’t get into Dublin, well then happy days.

The CEO of Kerry Airport ,John Mulhern. has followed suit. Speaking on Radio Kerry this week he said: “Kerry Airport is capable of servicing additional passengers, aircraft and crew; adding there are no caps in Kerry, only the Tweed kind.” and that he has “invited more airlines to fly through Farranfore, to ease pressures on passenger numbers in Dublin.”
These noble ideas by Kerry and Cork Airports need political and industry support.
