Ryanair to Close Dublin to Kerry Route from 7th Sept
OREANDA-NEWS. August 23, 2011. Ryanair today (23rd Aug) announced that it will cease to operate flights on its Dublin - Kerry route from 7th Sept (‘All Ireland’ flights on 17th, 18th and 19th Sept will operate) while flights on its Dublin - Cork route will cease from 30th October next. These closures are the result of:
The marked decline in traffic on the Cork route as motorway improvements have reduced driving times between Dublin and Cork to 2.5 hours,
The Govt’s imposition of a PSO subsidised operation on the Dublin – Kerry route from 3rd Nov, to replace Ryanair’s existing low fare unsubsidised commercial flights, and
The continued excessive DAA monopoly charges at both Dublin and Cork Airports, which make these low fare domestic flights unviable, particularly where passengers are taxed EUR 3 by the govt in each direction.
Ryanair passengers who have booked to travel on these routes after their closure will receive a full refund in due course.
