Ryanair seeking ‘free deal’ to deliver 5 million passengers

Ryanair is seeking a free deal in a fresh proposal to Government to deliver 5 million passengers over the next five years at Dublin, Cork and Shannon.

Deputy chief executive of the airline, Michael Cawley, confirmed the airline was seeking a deal that would not involve it paying any airport charges to the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA).

He said the offer has been lodged with Government in the past number of weeks.
