Ryanair: Dublin Airport runway costs should not top €250m

Ryanair has expressed confidence that plans for a second main runway at Dublin Airport will become a reality, but has warned its costs should not exceed the planned €250m.

Speaking at the launch of Ryanair’s winter 2016 route schedule in Dublin, yesterday, the airline’s chief marketing manager Kenny Jacobs said the company has a good relationship with the Dublin Airport Authority and feels Transport Minister Paschal Donohoe has the right approach on the proposed project.

Mr Donohoe has backed the need for a second runway at the country’s main airport, especially if 2015’s strong user numbers are replicated.
