Ryanair to battle Aer Lingus on sun routes

RYANAIR is expected to go head-to-head with Aer Lingus in a battle for holiday-makers with plans for a number of low-fare routes from Cork to sun destinations.

The flights could be on offer for as little as €60 return as the airline pledges to undercut Aer Lingus prices.

Ryanair’s chief executive Michael O’Leary is jetting into Cork this morning where he is expected to make the announcement.
