Ryanair critical of Belfast City Airport delay

RYANAIR launched an attack on Belfast City Airport yesterday saying delays to the extension of its runway could result in job losses and less route expansion.

This came as rival airline Aer Lingus announced that passenger numbers fell by just over 6% last month compared to the same month last year.

Aer Lingus shares were down 1.3% yesterday to 76 cent, while Ryanair surged 3.3% to €4.08.
