Ryanair responds to the DAA monopoly’s claims Ryanair responded to the DAA monopoly’s claims as follows: DAA’s charge of EUR15.00 per departing passenger is the same as EUR7.40 x 2 . This is more than the EUR10 one way fare paid by 40% of Ryanair’s winter traffic. 2. The DAA monopoly is Ryanair’s second most expensive base and far more expensive than other main airports such as Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Milan and Marseilles.
3. The DAA monopoly’s EUR15.00 charge is not avoidable. Ryanair’s baggage fee, credit card fee, check-in desk fee are all avoidable. Airport charges at the DAA monopoly are paid by Ryanair not passengers. When Ryanair sells 1 million EUR1 seats, Ryanair still pays the DAA monopoly EUR15.00 per departing passenger, not the passenger.
4. Airport charges at Ryanair’s 25 other cheaper bases than Dublin Airport, cover those airports operational costs: 24 hour fire brigade, passenger security employees, etc. The airport charges also pay for those airport’s investment programmes.
5. The DAA’s check-in rentals have been confirmed by the Useless Regulator as a double charge on the airlines, because the airlines already pay for the terminal building and the check-in desks through the DAA’s expensive passenger charges
