Ryanair to bypass Cork Airport over high costs

RYANAIR, Europe’s largest low-cost airline, said it will not add flights at Cork airport because it is one of the most expensive places in Europe to operate.

The airline said it is more expensive to operate at Cork than at London Stansted or any other regional airport in Europe.

For this reason the airline will not look at expanding there, meaning Cork will lose out to airports such as Kerry and Knock in attracting low- cost flights to Europe.
