Is it the Greens blocking the removal of the passenger cap?
Have the place ruined with their attempt to turn Dublin into Amsterdam and stopping folk from flying off what is an island.
On the interview he also said dublin London fares at Christmas would be €500 each way.
Should be raised, absolutely ridiculous that our key piece of national infrastructure is at the whim of a NIMBY council.
You’ve got to hand it to them. Ryanair really knows how to sound like they don’t want this, when we know in reality they’re more than delighted to charge Irish people business class fares to fly a ULCC.
But the cap was always there. Not sure how prices go up as other costs are coming down.
This is just Michael trying to get the public on his side / scare the for his unending quest for more profit.
How about just raising it or removing it entirely?
Not like there is any difference. If the planes are full, the cap hardly matters?
He made a prediction in February about prices going up this summer, but that never happened and Ryanair share prices fell.
He said in the interview clip that I saw, that they have already increased capacity from Belfast due to the cap.
And that’s good.
We have plenty of airports in this country with loads of capacity that Ryanair can fly to at a lower cost than Dublin.
Ryanair business model was built on flying to alternative airports.
This is kind of also what our transport minister Eamon Ryan wants. He’s repeatedly said he doesn’t like low cost air fares because it means more people can travel and so hurts the environment.
