My Department's funding of regional airports is under the Regional Airports Programme 2015-2019. This Programme provides for Exchequer support towards safety and security related projects and activities at the four regional airports in Donegal, Ireland West Airport Knock (IWAK), Kerry and Waterford under four separate Schemes:

- Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) Grant Scheme;

- Operational Expenditure (OPEX) Grant Scheme;

- Public Policy Remit* Capital Expenditure (PPR-C) Grant Scheme; and    

- Public Policy Remit* Operational Expenditure (PPR-O) Grant Scheme.

*Public Policy Remit (PPR) Schemes, introduced in 2015, cover projects and operations at airports which are generally obligatory under national or international aviation requirements and which involve costs for the airports that generate no economic return  (e.g. ATC, fire services, security services, etc.).

Details of Exchequer support to the four regional airports under the above Schemes in the period 2006 - 2016 are set out in the following tables:
