Ryanair has threatened to cut more routes at Dublin Airport next summer if passenger charges are not reduced, after a tempestuous week in which it pulled flights and aircraft from Ireland in an ongoing dispute with DAA.

Eddie Wilson, the airline’s chief executive, told the Business Post that it was considering reducing its roster of Dublin Airport flights further next year after it announced the end of 17 routes this winter over rising passenger charges.
