Shannon Airport

Shannon Airport• The Dublin Airport Authority managed Shannon Airport until 2013• Between 2002 and 2007, passenger numbers at the airport grew

significantly from 2.35 million in 2002 to 4.6 million in 2007. • Under the control of the Dublin Airport Authority, Shannon

Airport passenger numbers between 2007 and 2012 declined by 70%

• There were a number of reasons for the decline– Less troops travelling to Iraq and Afghanistan – Expiration of the deal with Ryanair and failure to agree a new one– Overall downturn in the number of tourists travelling from the United

States



Shannon Airport• As a result of this decline, the airport was made

independent and controlled by the Shannon Airport Authority as of 31/12/12

• This independence will allow Shannon Airport control its own destiny.

• The airport targets to treble earnings at the airport by 2017.

• Since the Shannon Airport Authority was setup, five new routes have been opened and 2013 has been very positive to date



Cork Airport

Cork Airport• Like Dublin & Shannon Airport, Cork Airport saw

passenger numbers grow steadily between 2002 and 2008.

• Growth of passenger numbers in this period was by over 73%, from 1.9 million in 2002 to 3.3 million in 2008.

• Passenger numbers fell by just over 30% in the four years to 2012, from 3.3 million in 2008 to 2.3 million in 2012.



Cork Airport• It is expected that 2013 will see Cork Airport return to

a growth of passenger numbers with the advent of The Gathering, a positive fourth quarter in 2012 and new routes.

• New developments expected to triple the size of the airport will begin in 2015.

• It includes the extension of the Terminal, a newly constructed cargo area, extension of the runway to allow the Boeing 747 and Airbus 380 land at the airport and an improvement in the road network.
