Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Fáilte Ireland, Shannon Group and Port of Waterford Company: Chairpersons Designate

Ms Rose Hynes:

The situation at present is that Shannon Group is a good news story. Since separation, Shannon Airport has been a very good news story. The first thing we did on separation was to pick up five years of negative traffic. We managed to do that in the first year. Since then, we have grown passenger numbers by 34%. This year is challenging because of the Boeing MAX jet. We have lost 13 weekly flights.
