New airport charges 'will negatively affect residents in the north'

Juan McGuinness says the DOI should've made the consultation more accessible

Changes to parking at the airport would 'disadvantage' residents in the north of the Island.

Ramsey Commissioner Juan McGuinness says using a car is a 'necessity' due to the lack of public transport links to the south.

Mr McGuinness says the notice for the change could have been better advertised.
