Irish airports see varied fortunes
Dublin Airport has slipped 14 places — from 61 to 75 — in the Annual World Airports Survey, on the back of traffic falling by 10.1% in 2010.
Ryanair reiterated its call for the breaking up of the Dublin Airport Authority’s (DAA) ownership of Dublin, Shannon and Cork airports, saying Ireland cannot afford “an uncompetitive, semi-state, airport monopoly where only Declan Collier’s [the DAA chief executive] pay packet rises, as traffic at all three airports declines”.
