THE SHANNON Chamber welcomed Minister of State for the Department of Transport Jack Chambers TD during his inaugural visit to Shannon.
The meeting, which took place in the Chamber’s offices in Shannon Airport House, was attended by board directors, Chamber member Future Mobility Campus Ireland, and elected representatives Cathal Crowe TD, Senator Timmy Dooley, and Joe Carey TD.
The visit enabled Chamber directors to discuss issues of concern to members and transport-related submissions that the Chamber has made to Government.
Commenting on the visit, Chamber CEO Helen Downes said: “Having recently contributed to the Mid-Term Review of the Regional Airports Programme 2021 – 2015, we were delighted to discuss the two main items we put forward for consideration in that submission.
“Our key asks in this submission were that the Regional Airports Programme (RAP) would be expanded to include all regional airports with under 3 million passengers for CAPEX, PPR-C and PPR-O support, as permitted under EU State Aid rules, and that it would support a new EU Hub connectivity for Shannon Airport.
“Shannon Chamber welcomed the inclusion of the State-owned regional airports, Shannon and Cork in the RAP to enable it deal with and recover from COVID-19".
