CARDIFF- DUBLIN SERVICES

25 April 2006

Cardiff International Airport has become the latest in a string of airports to come under attack from Ryanair - in March it was Ireland's Cork Airport; earlier in April, Stansted was in their sights. Ryanair are well known for taking up such positions and have done this with a number of airports in the UK and their native Ireland.

Statements by the airline about their contract with Cardiff International Airport are incorrect.  In fact, charges proposed by Cardiff International were less than the average that Ryanair publicly admits it pays across Europe.

Dublin-bound passengers left in the lurch by Ryanair need not worry. Award-winning airline Aer Arann have this evening confirmed that they will take over the lucrative 180,000 passengers-a-year Cardiff-Dublin route with a twice-daily service from next week. Fares from £19.99 one way including taxes will be offered on Aer Arann's new service.

Aer Arann have already taken over Cardiff-Cork, announced new services to Lorient and is expected to announce a Cardiff - Galway service tomorrow.
