“We are delighted to have had a record year with passenger numbers reaching 807,000 for the first time in airport history, which is also good news for tourism and job creation, both at the airport and across the economy. “
The airport now serves 23 international destinations and is served by four of the major international airlines in Europe, Aer Lingus, Flybe, Lauda and Ryanair.
A 2019 Ernst and Young study said the airport supports more than 3,000 jobs in the wider region.
