Close to 20,000 people to pass through Knock Airport this weekend

Almost 20,000 people will use Ireland West Airport in Knock this weekend - making it the busiest weekend of the year so far. Passengers are advised to arrive at least 90 minutes before their flight is due to depart.

The facility opened, with much fanfare, almost 39 years ago. And head of marketing, Donal Healy, says this will be one of the busiest weekends in living memory.
