Aer Lingus refuses to hand over Hangar Six

AER LINGUS last night effectively ended rival carrier Ryanair’s plans to take over the in-demand hangar six at Dublin Airport.

Michael O’Leary’s budget airline has heaped pressure on the Government this week, claiming his airline would create 300 high-value jobs if the building was handed over.

And he also published a letter stating he offered the Government guarantees last year restricting the use of a hangar to maintenance.
