Ryanair says it would resume routes if airport charges cut

RYANAIR said it would resume operating flights from Cork and Kerry to Dublin if airport costs were cut and the subsidised routes were scrapped.

The Government is to spend almost €23 million subsiding air routes from Kerry and Donegal to Dublin.

Ryanair said however that if the Public Service Obligation (PSO) contracts were abolished it would look at operating the Kerry service. PSOs are government-subsidised air routes from Kerry and Donegal.
