There’s very good news this morning for Kilkenny, Carlow and the rest of the South East.
The region looks to be on course for the return of commercial flights, following a major investment.
Billionaire siblings the Comer Brothers have reportedly agreed to pay around €20,000,000, to buy a majority stake in Waterford Airport.
The regional airport hasn’t operated commercial flights since 2016, and the additional funding is likely to progress plans for the construction of a long-awaited runway extension.
According to the Independent, a significant investment programme’s included in the acquisition price, and will begin almost immediately.
