On social media, the Airport commented that they while they could not promise any routes right now, they were listening to the people. 

"London led by a distance. Málaga wasn't far behind. Between them, you named over 60 different destinations, from Co. Kerry to Rio. 

"We're not announcing routes today. But we are listening, and we're keeping the list."

In the last update by Waterford Aviation, a major operation was ongoing to remove 250 airfield lighting fittings from the airfield.
