Airport Authorities Support Decision to Defer Seperation of Airports
December 22 2008
The Boards of the Dublin, Cork and Shannon Airport
Authorities support the decision of the Minister for Transport, Noel
Dempsey, T.D., to defer any decision to establish each Airport
Authority as a separate, independent, commercial business entity.
It is the considered view of each board, as recommended to the Minister, that
deferral of separation is the correct decision in the current very challenging
economic and aviation environment.
The Dublin Airport Authority is in discussions with the Cork and Shannon
Airport Authorities to put in place the most appropriate governance arrangements
in response to the Minister’s decision and to ensure the most effective
management of Dublin, Cork and Shannon Airports for all stakeholders
concerned.
