Mayor describes pre-clearance as landmark development

Mayor of Clare Tony Mulcahy has described the opening of full custom and border protection services at Shannon Airport today as a landmark development for the County Clare hub and the Mid West Region.

The Shannon Councillor said that the delivery of the new facilities underlined the resilience of the Mid West Region and the argument for a fully independent Shannon Airport Authority.

He stated: "The US Customs and Border Protection Inspection post will provide Shannon with an essential competitive advantage over other European Airports when developing additional services.  It is also hoped that the establishment of this facility will help the airport win its share of additional business to almost 20 new gateways in the United States.”

Mayor Mulcahy said the new facilities essentially paved the way for Shannon
Airport to grow business at a time when the aviation sector was struggling to cope with the economic downturn.
