Chamber Welcomes Government Decision to Support IAG Offer for Aer Lingus
Cork Chamber has welcomed the Government’s decision to support the International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG’s) offer for Aer Lingus. According to Mr. Conor Healy, CEO of Cork Chamber, “The provisions of the offer are in line with the position advocated to Government by the Chamber in recent months regarding our concerns over the potential sale of Aer Lingus.”
“We welcome the mechanisms to facilitate the legally binding guarantees to protect the current Cork-Heathrow slots for 7 years, which is of paramount importance given the criticality of these slots to safeguard Cork’s connectivity for the region’s business and tourism communities into the future. Cork Chamber welcomes IAG’s commitments to maintain Cork’s current connectivity to Paris and Amsterdam and looks forward to working with IAG should the sale go ahead as part of IAG’s commitment to pursue further growth opportunities in the Munster region.”
