Ryanair to announce Shannon as new base
(Source : Dow Jones, November 29, 2004)
Ryanair will Tuesday announce Shannon Airport as a new base, a source said Monday. Although the source wouldn't give details, there's been speculation that Ryanair arranged a five-year, 50 cent landing charge at new routes at Shannon, compared to average charge of E7.50. With Ryanair expected to go ahead with its Shannon announcement, the decision - plus recently announced additional Irish routes - is the most significant Irish move in about 10 years. Earlier this month, Ryanair announced the addition of a route from Shannon to Liverpool. It already flies from Shannon to Frankfurt/Hahn, Glasgow/Prestwick, Beauvais and Charleroi. The move by Ryanair is also seen as a direct competitive move against EasyJet, which will have four daily flights from London/Stansted to Shannon in Jan. It remains to be seen whether Ryanair can now secure a new deal at Dublin Airport.
