Ryanair could benefit from Aer Rianta break-up

Ryanair may benefit from the break up of Aer Rianta, with the Cork and Shannon airports competing to offer the airline the best deals, according to industry analysts.

Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary has said that he will add up to 32 new routes out of Ireland from all three airports if he can secure good deals on landing charges from the new airport bodies.
