Low-cost airline Ryanair has called on Ireland's aviation regulator to block Dublin Airport Authority's plan to build a €850 million second terminal at Dublin Airport.
Ryanair said it had filed comments on the Commission for Aviation Regulation's draft review of Dublin Airport charges today, saying the terminal is "the wrong size, in the wrong location, and is the wrong cost".
"Ryanair's passengers should not be forced to pay higher charges for a terminal they will never use," the airline said.
The CAR published its draft review on May 21st, in which it said charges would not need to increase until the new terminal opens in 2009. A four-week public consultation period followed the publication.
Last September, Ryanair wrote to the DAA offering to build a low-cost terminal at Dublin Airport for €250 million.
