O’Leary to announce cutbacks

RYANAIR’S Michael O’Leary is in Shannon today to deliver news of his planned cut backs at the airport.

The airline chief said last week he was looking at a series of cutbacks at Shannon and Dublin airports as a result of the Government’s €10 air passenger tax.

Shannon Airport Authority said it as been in discussions with Ryanair. It said Ryanair has committed to a contractual arrangement with Shannon and it expects the airline to honour that agreement and deliver two million passengers a year.
