Tags :UK, Ryanair, Ryanair, Passanger Traffic One passenger collapses after missing flight due to security delays Ryanair, Dublin Airport’s largest airline, today (24th July) called on the Minister for Transport, Noel Dempsey, to investigate repeated security failures at the DAA Monopoly run Dublin Airport after long security queues today and on Monday (20th July) resulted in 60 Ryanair passengers missing early morning flights. This is the third time in three months that Ryanair has had to draw attention to these major security failures at Dublin Airport so far this summer:
DAA failures: Pax missing flights 26th May-100, 27th June-50, 20th July-30, 24th July- 30 *(reported so far)
Ryanair confirmed that security queuing in Dublin Airport today and on Monday stretched in front of airline check in desks and resulted in one passenger collapsing after she missed her flight due to the long security queues. Ryanair passengers reported delays of over 30 minutes to clear passenger security which contradicts the DAA Monopoly’s spokesperson Siobhan Moore’s recent false claims that it “takes a maximum of 15 minutes”.
Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said “Ryanair calls on the Minister for Transport to step in and investigate why passenger who are paying €15 to the DAA Monopoly to pass through Dublin Airport and €10 to the Irish Government to leave the country are missing flights due to repeated failures at the DAA Monopoly run Dublin Airport.
The DAA’s spokesperson, Siobhan Moore, continues to claim that it takes ‘a maximum of 15 minutes’ to clear security at Dublin Airport and denied claims that passengers were missing flights as a result of security queues. So far today Ryanair has recorded 30 passengers who missed flights at Dublin Airport and we suspect many more missed flights but have now decided not to travel. With passengers collapsing in Dublin Airport due to the stress of long security queues we call on Minister Dempsey to tackle the chaos at Dublin Airport.”
