Kerry Airport gets early Christmas bonus
By Sean Moriarty
Kerry Airport is in line to get over €2m in additional funding under the Regional Airports Programme 2021-2025.
The grant funding was announced yesterday (Tuesday) by Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Hildegarde Naughton TD.
Under the grant scheme Kerry Airport will get €2.2m out of a total of €108m announced for all six Irish international airports.
This is the second round of funding, under the same scheme, offered to Kerry Airport, and means that 100 percent of all eligible costs at the airport for 2021 are now covered by grants.
"I fully recognise the devastating impact that COVID-19 has had on our regional airports. This is why I am delighted to announce that the operational funding of €15 million will cover 100% of the cost of all eligible expenditure at Shannon, Cork, Donegal, Knock and Kerry airports in 2021 under the scheme. This will go a long way towards enabling these airports to remain financially sustainable as they move beyond this current crisis and into 2022,” said Naughton.
This brings the total of funding offered to Kerry Airport in 2021 to a staggering €5.9m.
Kerry Airport already received €1.8m under a COVID-19 Supplementary Support Scheme and €4.1 Regional Airports Programme 2021-2025.
Yesterday's allocation is included in this second figure.
