Ryanair says it will have 500,000 fewer passengers from Dublin this winter

Budget airline Ryanair is reducing the number of flights into and out of Dublin Airport this winter.

It is cutting the number of aircraft by almost a fifth and the number of flights by 12%.

The airline blames a combination of the high price of oil and the cost of doing business at Dublin Airport.

Ryanair estimates that it will have 500,000 fewer passengers at Dublin Airport this winter compared with last winter's schedule.
