City of Derry Airport will see a boost after the Derry and Strabane Business and Culture Committee approved more funding to support air routes.
Funding of £177,000 was approved from within the North West Air Access consortium fund to assist in the promotion of new and existing air routes as the airport begins its post-pandemic recovery.
The North West Air Access Consortium fund was set up by Derry City Council and a number of stakeholders in 1999 to promote and develop air access to the North West.
SDLP Councillor Rory Farrell said: “We as a party fully support Derry City airport and we fully support any plans to maximise the airport to drive economic growth in the North West of Ireland.”
