Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Shannon Airport: Discussion with Shannon Airport Authority

10:40 am

Ms Rose Hynes:

There are several common themes but perhaps I will start with the position in five years' time. A combination of Shannon Airport and a restructured Shannon Development could be successful. What would success look like in five years' time? The aim and ambition is to have passenger numbers of 2.5 million or thereabouts, to have created a cargo hub and a transit passenger hub and to have gone much of the way towards an international aviation services centre. That is what I envisage for five years' time. None of this will happen overnight, but in a three- to five-year period I believe we will see things happening.
