London and Lanzarote among most requested Waterford Airport flight destinations
Waterford Airport asked for suggestions for potential flight routes in a post on social media
London, Malaga and Lanzarote are among the most requested destinations from people looking to fly out of Waterford Airport.
The airport put out a post on social media on Tuesday afternoon in which it asked for suggestions for potential flight routes.
The post stated: “The sod is turned. The runway is coming. Now the real question…
“Where do YOU want Waterford Airport to fly first?”
The post received over a hundred comments from people across the South East who are hoping to fly from the airport.
London, Malaga and Lanzarote were among the most popular suggestions, whilst Manchester, Liverpool and Faro were also highly requested.
In addition, the likes of Paris, Edinburgh and Birmingham were commonly mentioned.
There were also shouts for destinations such as Rome, Amsterdam and Bordeaux.
Work is well underway on the €30m redevelopment of Waterford Airport following the sod-turning ceremony in May.
As part of its redevelopment, the airport’s runway will be lengthened to 2,287 metres and widened to 45 metres to accommodate larger commercial jet aircraft.
Airport developer William Bolster has previously said that discussions are ongoing with airlines over potential commercial flights.
