Ryanair has said it is reducing its winter schedule out of Dublin Airport because of increasing passenger charges, the airport's capital spending decisions and its failure to deliver meaningful environmental incentive scheme.
The airline said it has cancelled 17 routes for the season and will also be moving its Boeing"Gamechanger" fleet of 19 aircraft to other airports across the EU.
"There is nothing approaching a 45% proposed in pricing at Dublin Airport which is patently false for anyone who has studied the regulators' determination last December." "It is regrettable that Ryanair is announcing 17 route cuts and the removal of 19"Gamechanger" enviro-friendly aircraft this Winter at Dublin because there are no incentives at Dublin to grow traffic or reward investment in aircraft with lower CO2 and noise emissions," said Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson.
"We have reviewed all options, including solutions in place at other European airports, and both the aviation regulator and daa agree the underpass solution is the optimum one from a safety perspective and we never compromise on safety." "As the biggest beneficiary of the TRSS scheme, we can understand why Ryanair would like to see it remain in place beyond next March, but we are happy that Dublin Airport’s growth has recovered to pre-pandemic levels and we do not need to incentivise new growth given Dublin Airport has a planning capacity limit of 32 million passengers per annum."daa urged Ryanair to"redo their sums" and join the airport on its"journey to a carbon free aviation eco-system".
Ryanair also said the daa is reversing positive progress achieved under the Government's Traffic Recovery Support Scheme which led to the airline boosting traffic post-pandemic by 117%.
