Michael O’Leary has warned that Irish airfares will hit “record levels” this Christmas.Tod...
It is unclear what penalty will be imposed upon the airport but Ryanair ’s Michael O’ Leary said it is yet more evidence that the passenger cap needs to be increased.“Both this Christmas and next summer - it’s because we can’t get any additional slots.”
“We’re calling on Simon Harris and Micheál Martin, the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste - take action where the Transport Minister won’t,” he said. Mr O’Leary said several airlines including Ryanair have seen their applications for extra slots over Christmas turned down due to the passenger cap.“We have been denied the extra slots we traditionally get every Christmas,” he said.“None of the airlines are getting the extra flights that we get every Christmas.
“I think the only thing that will really act as a spur is when the crisis blows up this Christmas when the airlines offer 250,000 less seats to Dublin this Christmas,” he said.
