Report by John Lavabre
RYANAIR has announced plans to spend $300 million on
its operations in Ireland.
The low-cost airline has submitted plans to the Irish
Government for 10 new routes between Ireland and Europe and to increase the
number of aircraft kept at Dublin and Shannon airports.
Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said the
proposals must be accepted to keep the Irish aviation industry competitive and
bring prices down.
The airline has also announced it is to add a fourth
daily flight from Shannon to Stansted on January 11.
