APD
Dublin airport is delighted at the increased taxes in the UK. It is attracting a lot of new traffic from Northern Ireland to travel via Dublin. Ryanair fares are lower than those of Easyjet to begin with and the APD just makes the price difference bigger. Longhaul also is now cheaper from Dublin than Belfast. As well as that it attracts European tourists who were thinking of holidaying in Belfast. They save approximately €15 each on the flights. That may not sound much but when there is for example a party of 5 it saves €75.
