Expanded fleet ‘offers opportunity for Cork’

Ryanair has issued a come and get me appeal for Cork Airport to lower its landing costs ahead of the low fares airline taking delivery of a batch of new aircraft — some of which could be used to expand services at the airport.

Some 40 new aircraft are set to join the Ryanair fleet by the end of the year opening up a range of possibilities in terms of routes that can be added or expanded.

Cork Airport could be among the beneficiaries of the airline’s increased fleet if it puts the “right commercial deal” on the table and lowers its landing charges.
