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.

More new routes announced by @Ryanair today out of Dublin Airport, would love to see them add some new routes ex @Cork_Airport #Cork
