From Air Transport News:
Ryanair, Ireland’s largest airline, today (28th May) condemned SIPTU for holding Irish passengers to ransom at the Dublin airport monopoly. SIPTU is refusing to move into the new Area 14 check in zone until its members are bought off with €1000 each. Irish passengers are being forced to endure more queues and third world overcrowding because Dublin Airport is a SIPTU controlled monopoly.
If the DAA monopoly is allowed to build and run a second terminal, SIPTU will hold passengers to ransom there too. Competition works for passengers. SIPTU controlled monopolies clearly don’t.
Speaking today Ryanair’ s Head of Communications Peter Sherrard said;
“Once again SIPTU is treating the travelling public with utter contempt and showing that it controls the Dublin Airport Monopoly. If T2 is built and operated by the SIPTU controlled DAA monopoly, the same abuse, queues and contempt for passengers will spread there too. It is time to put passengers first at Dublin airport, by introducing competing terminals and breaking this SIPTU controlled monopoly”.
