Another one bits the dust. Not so long ago nearly every spanish charter flight to spain was on jk.

sad news for those involved in spanair.

I see the Transport Minister Leo Varadkar has said charges at Dublin are frozen and they are open to do deals with airlines but I don't think they will be able to do one which Ryanair would be happy with.

Aer Lingus increasing ABZ,GLA, adding BOH and reducing BRS.

[stab3.5up]

Wot other possible deals could they offer!!!

Seriously?

For one they could stop taxing tourists just to visit this country. Then, they could reduce airport charges which are currently stifling growth, not just for Ryanair, but for several airlines operating out of DUB.

The DAA should follow the Spanish model and either axe or significantly discount airport charges for airlines that maintain passenger numbers going through Irish airports at say 2006 levels. This would give airlines an incentive to invest in Irish airports which will drive growth at the airports and increase profits (scale of economy, ancillary revenue and so on), and deliver for the airlines in the form of discounted charges.

But thats assuming we had people in government who had a clue...

If you search on the daa website you can download all the deals that the daa offer airlines already....hence my comment!!

Exactly. They seem to take the same model to employment - reduce incentives, reduce capital spending and increase taxes, they then rant on about how they're all for cutting unemployment (when the rate of 14% remains stagnant/increasing). Lets face it, this country is run by buffoons who aren't in Government for the national interest they're there for the pay, benefits and the ''doss''. There's little hope of change either a party opposite which managed the near obliteration of the Irish economy, a party who only 10 years ago carried out murders to justify there stance as ''Political Prisoners'', and a Party who seem to think there's an easy way which there is not. What the Government needs to understand is you DO NOT tax a sector of the economy which is growing, creating employment. This is what they done to the aviation sector with far bigger reactions by airlines to the existing Global Downturn, They are now doing it to the Internet/eCommerce sector passing ACTA to please our European counter parts, i would hold your breath if your expecting reform and change of many sectors of the Irish economy for the next few years, because they don't have the balls to do anything for the people they represent.

And I'm saying to you, the DAA and the government could be doing a lot more.

[Sober Lark]

In a recessionary economy don't people cut down on travel and save instead? I'd imagine the cost of flying is one of the smallest elements of the total cost of going away for a short holiday so even if the DAA actually paid people to fly it probably wouldn't make any difference to the numbers that travel through their airports.

Government direct taxes not to blame

I'm with sober lark,

The direct Gov tax is bog all to do with airline growth. Airport charges may have a bigger effect, since they'll be directly in the airfare and are perhaps more substantial.

Airlines will make more from selling ancillary services than the gov tax also. So should the airlines sell their hotels etc nett in order to enhance the tourist proposition (I say this with a smile).

Overall, the European economy is under pressure. If you plan a trip, it'll go something like €200.00 airfare, €100 a night hotel, €50.00 a night dinner, €20.00 visiting attractions etc etc etc. It's the overall spend. And it's widely shown people are opting for 1 holiday versus 2 holidays.
Perhaps the simplest route is to try and develope new markets and tap clients we're not seeing.
