News: Ryanair to reduce Dublin flights
Flights > News > # 2393 (25/01/2010)
No-frills airline Ryanair will reduce flights from Dublin by up to 20 per cent this summer.
Ryanair blamed the cuts on rising airport charges and the Irish tourist tax. A spokesman for the airline said: "Ireland, and Dublin Airport in particular, are now high-cost destinations, compared to other European cities where airports are lowering costs and governments are scrapping tourist taxes."
The Irish carrier expected total traffic at Dublin to fall from 20 million to 18 million this year. Cuts in Ryanair's winter schedule from Dublin are also expected to be announced over the coming weeks.
