Irish government proceeds with Aer Rianta break-up

12-Jul-2003

The state-owned authority is to split into three boards controlling Dublin, Shannon and Cork airports. Aer Rianta International director-general Eamon Foley tells TRW that although the implications for the retailer are not yet clear, he is not concerned about the transition.

The Irish government has announced plans to break up state-owned airports authority Aer Rianta, with Dublin, Shannon and Cork airports each being operated by a stand-alone board. The minister for transport Seamus Brennan said he had yet to decide on the future of Aer Rianta International, which manages airport operations and duty-free stores overseas.
