Answer
This money for City of Derry Airport will be targeted solely at supporting the airport to operate the essential flight routes servicing the North West and ensuring the safe operation of the infrastructure necessary for this. It is the minimum amount necessary to support Derry City and Strabane District Council, which owns the airport, to enable it to operate safely during COVID-19 related travel restrictions in the short term period to March 2021.
