Extract :

Ryanair today (16Oct) announced plans to grow its traffic at its Irish airports by at least 1m passengers p.a. from April 2014 in a direct response to the Govt’s announcement in yesterday’s budget that the €3 travel tax (which applies only to air passengers) will be scrapped in April 2014.

Ryanair will now respond positively to the Govt’s initiative and announce plans to grow traffic to/from its Irish airports by at least 1m passengers p.a. from April 2014. Ryanair has invited all the main Irish airports – Dublin, Cork, Shannon, Knock and Kerry – to meetings in Dublin on Thursday and Friday of this week to finalise these growth plans and how it can be split between the airports. These 1m new passengers (up to 500,000 visitors) will deliver more visitors than The Gathering in 2013 and will lead to the creation of at least 1,000 new jobs at these Irish airports.

Ryanair expects that this traffic growth will be focused on a range of new routes and additional frequencies on existing routes, although the list of routes and frequencies and the share of traffic growth will be finalised in talks with the Irish airports over the coming days.
