Hotel industry concerned over outcome of Charleroi ruling

The Irish Hotels Federation (IHF) has called on the Government to use its influence while holding the EU Presidency to ensure that any decision by the EU Commission on the Ryanair Charleroi issue does not have any negative impact on low-fares air access to Ireland.

The IHF said in a statement today that any decision by the EU to tighten its control on air travel in Europe may have a disastrous effect on future Irish tourism.
