Ryanair accused of snubbing Cork in growth strategy

Ryanair has been accused of snubbing Cork Airport during its one million passenger growth strategy triggered by the scrapping of the €3 travel tax in the budget.

The city’s business, tourism and political leaders rounded on the airline last night for failing to deliver a single new route in to Cork Airport as part of the expansion, which culminated yesterday in the announcement of nine new routes from Dublin Airport from next April.
