Statement By Ireland West Airport Knock Managing Director
The statement published on IrelandWestAirport.com quoted Ireland West Airport Knock managing director Joe Gilmore as saying, "April has proven to be a record month for the airport, and we were delighted to see such strong volumes using the airport last month. It's been particularly pleasing to welcome so many new customers to the airport in April from counties such as Tyrone, Cavan, Westmeath, Offaly and Galway to name but a few which really demonstrates the increasing popularity of using the airport. The increasing choice of destinations on offer for customers in the west, northwest and midlands regions this summer has never been stronger and combined with the stress-free experience and convenience of using the airport we hope these factors will continue to entice new customers to the airport in the coming months and experience for themselves the benefits of flying from a regional airport like Ireland West Airport. It's also been particularly pleasing to welcome the commencement of new services to Lanzarote with Ryanair and London Heathrow with Aer Lingus, which is a real game changer for the region in terms of the global connectivity now available for passengers travelling to and from the west, northwest, and midlands regions of Ireland."
