Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion
Mr. Kenny Jacobs:
For everything shown on the video, it will probably be three years or more. We want to add those aspects that add capacity sooner. We will then get into the choice of what we build first. There is great demand from the airlines. I am delighted that Aer Lingus as part of AIG, want to add long-haul aircraft to the fleet. We all want to get the cap lifted. Then we can get on with growing the airport by making the infrastructure investments that will support sustainability.
To go back to the issue of Cork, want to grow that airport by an even larger percentage. Sometimes people say that there is too much focus on Dublin but that is not the case.
