Ryanair is to further reduce its operations at Dublin Airport and transfer 100 jobs to other European countries.
The airline is to cut the number of aircraft based in Dublin during the winter from 14 to 12 and reduce weekly flights there by 150.
6 routes will also be cut with capacity on 17 others reduced.
Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O’Leary estimates as many as 400 other jobs could be lost at Dublin Airport as a result of the measures announced today.
“Every million passengers generates 1,000 jobs” he said.
“Our cuts today will result in another 500,000 less passengers at Dublin Airport, so it’s about 500 less jobs in total”.
“Ryaniar jobs will move 2 aircraft out of Dublin, that’s about 100 Ryanair jobs will move elsewhere in Europe this winter – pilots, cabin crew and engineers” he added.
