Kerry Airport


Kerry airport
Ryanair is to reduce its daily return flights from Kerry to Dublin to just one return flight a day. This has come as a surprise as they have the PSO (Public Service Obligation) contract. The PSO contract is a government subsidy paid to the airline that provides the regional fights. It may be time for Aer Arann to step in and get the contract as soon as possible.
The Transport Minister Noel Dempsey is said to be in favour of scrapping the PSOs. The industrial and tourism interests must surely see the value of keeping the status quo. Therefore Board Failte and the IDA should be contacted to seek their support for peripheral regions
