Inquiry into Cork-Dublin route ends

AER ARANN has said that it will consider its options over its longstanding “anti-competitive” complaint against Ryanair on the Dublin-Cork route, in light of the Competition Authority effectively ending any inquiry into the matter.

Aer Arann had lodged a complaint over a year ago, claiming that Ryanair was acting uncompetitively and illustrating predatory conduct on the route to the detriment of its rival.

The Competition Authority has decided not to make any further investigations, on the basis that it didn’t deem Ryanair dominant in transport options when travelling between Dublin and Cork.
