Ryanair Charges at Cork Airport

Filed Under (cork airport) by admin on 30-01-2009

Ryanair has come under scrutiny for imposing extra wheelchair charges. It is believed that Ryanair could be gaining as much as one million euro a year from the charge. All money from these charges should be passed on to the Dublin Airport Authority.

In July the DAA brought in a 33 cent fee for all departing passengers. An EU directive was put in place so all passengers would share the cost for disabled services. Ryanair is however charging a 50 cent levy.

Shannon and Cork Airport passengers are also been charged a 50 cent levy in spite of the DAA set cost of 45 cent. Passengers at Cork Airport are paying fifteen euro in taxes and charges that it is claimed Ryanair do not have to pay according to the Evening Herald.

Ryanair flights make up forty percent of the European low cost flights market. Despite growing passenger numbers they are expected to announce a loss in profits this year. This is thought to be due to rising fuel costs.
