Ryanair slams hike in charges at Shannon.

RYANAIR has slammed new travel charge increases at Shannon which the airline claims will further erode its passenger figures.

Ryanair branded the increase as “crazy” during a year when it said the airport’s traffic is on track to fall from 2.7 million to less than 1.7 million.

Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary called on the Department of Transport to order the DAA to reverse the price hike.
