Airport chief says they have not raised charges

I WISH to respond to Edel Wright’s letter headlined ‘Emigrant family devastated by the loss of Cork-Glasgow flight link’ (September 17).

While we are obviously disappointed with Ryanair’s recent decision to cancel their East Midlands and Glasgow Prestwick services with effect from next month, I feel it is important to clarify the facts as they are and in particular to refute absolutely some of the misinformation given.

Cork airport management strongly refutes the misinformation that it has “raised fees by 20%”. We have not raised charges by a single cent.
