Business moguls on hush hush visit to Mayo

FOUR Gulfstream jets on the apron at Ireland West Airport Knock (IWAK) today (Thursday) is testament to the burgeoning success and importance of the facility 30 years after it was officially opened.

The multi-million euro fleet dropped an elite group of business executives off at the airport some days ago and is expected to fly them out again before the weekend.

The visit by the executives is all 'hush hush' but they are believed to be having a get together in Westport where certain premises have been block-booked for their stay.

IWAK is refusing to give out any information regarding the VIP visitors.

Gulfstream prides itself as “manufacturer of the world's most advanced business jet aircraft”.
