Apron safety and capacity boost in the pipeline for Mayo airport

An apron safety enhancement project is under consideration for Ireland West Airport Knock.

Mayo TD Alan Dillon said the investment would greatly enhance operations at the facility.

He stated: "I know that the capacity of aprons has been a long-standing issue at Ireland West Airport Knock.

"I hope the commitment in the National Development Plan includes increased capacity to boost the number of aeroplanes that may park at any one time at the airport."

Deputy Dillon welcomed the government's commitment to continued Exchequer support and grant aid for the Mayo facility.
