Ryanair backs Dublin Airport’s E250m new runway
Ryanair is backing Dublin Airport’s E250m new runway plan, but does not want it to increase passenger charges to pay for the project. Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) is considering going ahead with the plan after more than 25m people travelled through the airport last year. Such a move could see it increase the passenger charges it levies on airlines by 59 cents a head from their current E9.87 maximum. Ryanair’s CMO, Kenny Jacobs, confirmed the airline, which had argued Dublin did not need a new runway, supported the plan: “We are always talking to the DAA and we have seen the plans and they make more sense than what we have seen in the past. We are supportive of the new runway but not if it is supported by higher airport charges.” DAA will decide on whether to go ahead with the plan later this year. <br/>
