Ryanair bases hangar in Germany

RYANAIR has chosen Germany as the location for its controversial hangar, which was the subject of a political storm recently.

The airline will create 200 jobs at Frankfurt Hahn airport as part of a €25 million investment.

Ryanair came head-to- head with the Government earlier this year when the airline said it would base 300 jobs at Dublin Airport if the Government assisted the airline in acquiring Hangar Six which is currently occupied by Aer Lingus. However, no deal was reached and Ryanair is now building the hangar, which includes a 16-room cabin crew training unit in Germany.
