Ryanair, Europe’s largest rip-off airline, have criticised the Dublin Airport Authority for it’s apparent failure to efficiently operate security last Saturday morning (27th June 09) which caused over 50 Ryanair passengers to miss their early morning flights. This is the second major Dublin Airport security failure so far this summer after long queues on 26th May resulted in over 100 passengers missing their flights.
Ryanair passengers reported delays of over 30 minutes to clear passenger security which contradicts the DAA’s recent claims that it takes a maximum of 15 minutes.
What Ryanair fail to make clear on the their press release regarding the issue is what they did to help those passengers who missed flights through no fault of their own. Were they refunded? Were they allocated space on another flight at no extra charge?
We doubt it. We’re sure Ryanair will have seen this as an opportunity to earn a hefty increase in revenue for the day.
