RYANAIR PASSENGERS VOTE ON NEW NAME FOR DUBLIN AIRPORT
WIN A WEEKEND FOR TWO IN VENICE (OR IN THE EMPTY T2)
Ryanair, Ireland’s favourite airline, today (13th July) launched a poll on Ryanair.com to allow passengers to vote on possible new names for Dublin Airport, which the Govt has announced it wants to rename in September - after their 12 week holiday - and just before they open the €1.2bn T2 white elephant which has allowed the DAA to increase costs by up to 40%, while traffic collapses from 23.5m to 17m passengers.
Passengers who vote in the online poll can enter into a draw to win a weekend for two in Venice (incl free flights and two nights four star hotel accommodation) in September 2010. The poll, which is available on www.ryanair.com until Wed 21st July, suggests:
· The Séan Fitzpatrick Airport - once rich, now bankrupt…
· The Bertie Ahern Airport -from North Dublin, cost taxpayers a fortune…
· The Ray Burke Airport - “will we get a receipt - will we f**k”…
· The NAMA Airport - over specified, over priced and over here…
· The Dublin Zoo Airport - the home of expensive white elephants (T2).
Or, tell us you suggestion for a new name for the T2/Dublin Airport disaster.
Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:
“Ryanair has been calling on the Govt to reverse the collapse in Irish traffic and tourism by axing their €10 tourist tax and scrapping the Govt imposed 40% increase in DAA charges. Instead the Govt has decided that a more pressing matter at Dublin Airport is not that T2 is doubling the capacity to 60m passengers p.a. while traffic collapses to under 17m p.a., but rather that the airport should be renamed after some dead politician to reflect a ‘modern Ireland’.
Perhaps a dead politician would be a proper reflection on Ireland’s dying tourism industry as this Govt taxes tourists instead of welcoming them, but Ryanair believes that there are better possible names to reflect ‘modern Ireland’ like Fitzpatrick, Ahern or NAMA.
In keeping with Fianna Fail tradition we urge passengers to vote early and vote often so that we elect a suitable name for Dublin Airport or reflect its rising costs, its collapsing traffic, its empty terminals and its debt mountain. A draw will be made from all entries and the prize will be a weekend for two in a 4 star hotel in Venice in September or a camping/adventure weekend in the empty T2 in Dublin in November.”
