Transferring flights to regional airports will not solve Dublin passenger cap problems, Ryanair warns

Head of Communications Jade Kirwan said Cork and Dublin were 'in different divisions,' with Dublin in the same league as Europe's larger cities.

Transferring flight services to regional airports to combat the passenger cap at Dublin Airport will not solve Ryanair's problems, head of communications at the airline, Jade Kirwan has said.

Speaking at the launch of Ryanair's Winter 2024 schedule for Cork Airport on Wednesday, Ms Kirwan said that the passenger cap at Dublin Airport is continuing to damage jobs and the economy, reiterating calls for the Government to scrap it, as well as caps on regional airports.
