Capital grant payments to the regional airports during 2007 amounted to just over €3.34 million. To date in 2008 payments amounting to €1.93 million have been made.

Up to 2010, Exchequer grant aid amounting to €86 million, including the above payments, has been allocated under Transport 21 for the regional airports' programme of infrastructural investments which was approved by the Government in February 2007.
