Ryanair has already moved 50,000 flight seats from Dublin to Belfast for the winter period
Ryanair has vowed to shift more flights to Belfast International if the controversial passenger cap at Dublin Airport remains in place.
He made the comments as the company launched its 13-route winter schedule for Belfast International, which includes a new route to Kaunas in Lithuania. At an event in Belfast city centre on Wednesday, Mr Brady said the cap was damaging tourism and the economy in Ireland.“Belfast is the closest viable alternative. Hence, we’ve already shifted 50,000 seats for this winter.
He added: “When we look to put in additional capacity around, you know, the bank holiday weekend, the midterm holidays, Christmas, Cheltenham next year, ad hoc slots that we typically would have been able to pick up in Dublin we’re not able to get them, we think that Belfast is an alternative for some of that traffic.”
