New terminal ‘would reduce charges’

AER LINGUS boss Willie Walsh rejected claims by Aer Rianta that a new terminal would double charges at Dublin Airport.

Competition cuts prices and Mr Walsh said that fact had been demonstrated in the airline business.

Mr Walsh said Aer Lingus had been "speaking to a number of parties" interested in building the terminal. They include Ryanair, the McEvaddy Brothers and Ascon, all of which have produced considerable proposals in this regard, he said.
