18.06.09

Ryanair does not plan to expand from its bases in the UK until at least the end of this year, the airline's Chief Executive Michael O'Leary said yesterday at a news conference announcing Irish job losses.

Mr O'Leary told a news conference announcing job losses in Dublin and Shannon, which he blamed on the Irish Governments €10 air tax: ‘There won't be any more growth in the UK ... until at least the end of the calendar year. There are likely to be some cuts.’ He blamed a decision to not expand from the UK our own 'tourist tax' (APD).
