Part of DAA statement below.
It is astounding that Ryanair is complaining about facilities at Dublin Airport, given that over the past ten years Ryanair has opposed every single development aimed at improving the passenger experience at Dublin Airport.
Airport charges at Dublin Airport are regulated and the Regulator has sanctioned some increases over the past three years after almost two decades during which charges fell significantly in real terms. During the same three-year period, according to recent independently verified figures, Ryanair’s own charges have exploded:
• Ryanair’s baggage check-in charge has increased by 600% since 2006
• The charge for using a credit card to book a Ryanair flight has increased by 285% since 2006
• The cost of changing a Ryanair flight booking has increased by 66% since 2006
• The cost of carrying sports equipment on a Ryanair flight has increased by 97% since 2006
