City of Derry Airport receives £3 million investment from DfI
City of Derry Airport has received a multi-million pound funding boost.
The regional airport secured £3 million from the North's Department for Infrastructure in a move that will 'secure the airport’s future and help to facilitate growth'.
This latest announcement follows news that a route between City of Derry and Edinburgh has been secured.
Welcoming the announcement SDLP leader Colum Eastwood said:
Mr Eastwood said the money would secure the airport’s future and help to facilitate growth.
Mr Eastwood said: "There is huge potential for City of Derry to expand and grow, it is the only major airport in the entire north-west of this island and we need to focus on attracting new routes and airlines so that it can establish itself in its own right as a choice for travellers alongside Belfast and Dublin.
“For decades Derry and the wider north-west has suffered from a lack of investment and one of the reasons most often cited for this is the lack of proper transport links."
