Ryanair chief cites lower costs after moving aircraft from Cork Airport to Shannon 

Michael O'Leary said he thinks they will be able to put the fourth aircraft back into Cork 'next summer, but we don't have enough aircraft to run four aircraft out of Cork during the winter'. 

Lower costs for the airline was the reason why Ryanair made the decision to move an aircraft from Cork Airport to Shannon Airport for the coming winter period, the chief executive of Ryanair Holdings Michael O’Leary has said.

Last month, Ryanair announced that it will be adding a fourth aircraft at Shannon Airport for this winter period which will see three new routes this winter added including to Lapland, Madeira and Madrid. The announcement is expected to deliver a 20% increase in traffic at the airport.
