Airport cap will end up in court if Ryan doesn't act, O'Leary warns

Ryanair boss demands Transport Minister circumvent passenger limit 

Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary said Ryanair would be 'making out like bandits' this winter as the passenger cap at Dublin Airport will cause fares to rise. 

Ryanair Group chief executive Michael O’Leary has said the issue of the passenger cap at Dublin Airport will probably end up before a European court if Transport Minister Eamon Ryan does not move to circumvent the restriction soon.

The budget airline has already had to move a number of extra ad hoc flights from Dublin to Belfast due to the cap. These extra flights include Christmas flights to Lapland as well as flights for the Leinster rugby team to travel for their away fixtures.
