2013 Annual Accounts of Shannon Free Airport Development Company

1:15 pm

Mr. Ray O'Driscoll:

Within the Shannon Free Zone area, there are about 100 companies operating there. Approximately 40% of those are aviation related and being close to Shannon Airport is a bonus. Shannon Airport has assets such as aircraft hangars and a lot of our aviation companies and our customers in the Shannon Free Zone supply and have relationships with these hangars and the people who operate them. The aviation cluster is very important, and also very important to the airport, but we also want to focus on non-aviation businesses. We want to focus on the tech sector, medical devices, financial services supports, back offices-----
