Michael O'Leary: Dublin Airport's 'insane' passenger cap will cause 'massive crisis' at Christmas

Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary was sharply critical of the Daa, including its provision for car parking at the airport, its pursuit of a €200m tunnel on the site, and the toilets and seating facilities at Dublin Airport.

There will be a “massive crisis” at Dublin Airport this Christmas due to its “insane” passenger cap, with fares costing €1,000 for a return trip, Michael O’Leary has claimed.

The Ryanair Group CEO told an Oireachtas committee he will “make a fortune” this Christmas which “suits [him] fine” but that Government and politicians will get the blame for it.
