Ryanair shelves Cork/Kerry plans

Ryanair has shelved plans to increase its services at Cork and Kerry airports, citing high airport charges as the reason.

Speaking yesterday on the back of the airline’s latest quarterly results, Ryanair’s outgoing deputy chief Michael Cawley said the airline was no longer in talks with either airport, but remains open to suggestions on how it can grow at each.

He said that charges remained too high at the two locations, even though there was still potential for Ryanair to grow services significantly from both.
