Despite the closure of two of its routes at Cork Airport., Ryanair has stated that Shannon Airport routes will not be affected. A disagreement over airport fees led to the collapse of the two Cork routes
Speaking on RTE this morning, Mr Cawley from Ryanair stated – We have an agreement with Shannon and they have had a huge boost in passenger numbers with Ryanair now responsible for almost 66% of passengers. We have been a fantastic help to the Shannon region.
Once again pointing the finger squarely at the DAA (Dublin Airport Authority), Cawley laid the blame at their door for the problems with the Cork routes. Rumours that Ryanair went back on their word re: an agreement to a discount scheme at Cork were also dismissed
Cork Airport is set to lose over 100,000 passengers this winter.
