Ryanair says passengers face 40% hike in travel costs with rise in Dublin Airport charges
Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson said: 'Rewarding Dublin Airport with 20%-40% price increases, at a time when it is one of Europe’s worst performing airports, is a sign of regulatory failure and capture'.
Ryanair has warned that passengers could face hikes in air travel of between 30-40% in the next four years, as it condemned a draft decision from the aviation regulator to allow airport charges to increase at Dublin Airport.
The Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR) said on Friday that the price cap on charges at the airport should change from €8.24 in 2022 to as high as €9.81 by 2026 should Dublin Airport deliver on its capital investment programme as planned.
