Michael O’Leary has asked why Dublin airport did not apply for an increase on the passenger cap five years ago when it was negotiating the planning process for its north runway.
At an Oireachtas hearing last week Kenny Jacobs said that it would take two years for the planning permission to go through for extra terminal capacity at Dublin airport and three more years to build.
Michael O’Leary told a conference on sustainable aviation fuel that road transport accounts for 28pc of emissions and aviation for 2pc of emissions, a road transport will have switched to electric by the mid 2030s, and air transport will become cheaper, which is why you should all be buying Ryanair shares.
Colm Markey MEP hosted the event “Fuelling Change: Sustainable Aviation in Ireland and the EU” in the Citynorth hotel, which featured key figures such as Mr O’Leary CEO of Ryanair and Marie-Louise Kelly Chair of Aircraft Leasing Ireland.
The event explored the challenges and opportunities of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the region.
The European Council recently adopted a law called “RefuelEU aviation,” which focuses on decarbonising the aviation industry and achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
