Ryanair has confirmed it is in active negotiations with Shannon Airport in a bid to add additional routes for 2015.
The airline held a press conference in Shannon this morning where CEO Michael O'Leary says he lives in fear of a future government reinstating the travel tax.
This morning saw Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O'Leary welcome the Airline's 13th millionth passenger at Shannon Airport.
In a boyant mood O'Leary says their new found policy of less robust customer service has proven popular – and if he'd known it would be so positive they would have done it sooner.
Last week Stobart Air announced from January 5th it would pull its services from Shannon Airport – routes which carried 90,000 passengers a year.
Michael O'Leary says his airline is looking at taking on two of the three routes – but nothing's been confirmed as of yet.
O'Leary says capacity is proving problematic for them in relation to the Stobart Services as all of their planes are fully booked up until Winter of 2015.
Separately the Ryanair Chief executive has thanked the government for taking what he called the brave step of srcapping the travel tax.
Minister for Finance Michael Noonan has returned the praise saying the entire Mid West region has benefitted as a result
