“Free hand luggage? In Brussels many things are said, but the truth is one. The rates for everyone will increase and therefore also those who bring a small bag will pay more than it pays today».
This is stated by the CEO of Ryanair, Eddie Wilsonwhich announced in Turin the arrival of a third air -based aircraft, increasingly strategic for the company, and an investment of 300 million dollars. «Today everyone has the opportunity to bring on board a bag that goes under the front seat and is free. You can then choose whether to bring another baggage to the cabin by paying it or not do it. With this decision, however, everyone would pay more. Ryanair changed the way of traveling, in a way that was not imaginable twenty years ago, with low rates. These interferences do not benefit consumers, but they do the opposite », underlines Wilson. As for the fact that the carrier’s passengers will only be able to use boarding cards in digital format.- Wilson does not see problems because “the majority already the USA is already the majority. We have always implemented new technologies, the goal is to try to facilitate life and travel experience “.
On the Ryanair flight from Berlin to Milan diverted for a turbulence Wilson stresses that the company “always puts safety in first place. The real problem – he adds – is that of air traffic control services: there is little staff throughout Europe and also in Milan. More personal is needed to better carry out the job for the benefit of passengers, “says Rayanair’s CEO. In Italy they travel with Ryanair 65 million passengers transported with 105 based aircraft. The company invests $ 10.5 billion, has over 400 routes, gives a support between direct and induced to over 50,000 jobs. «We want to grow again in Italy. We have a plan for the country. If the municipal additional was abolished for all airports we would add 40 new aircraft, 4 billion of investments, 20 million more passengers that would be added to 65 million. We would exceed 80 million. It’s a stupid tax. The regions that abolished it, Friuli, Abruzzo, Calabria, are growing and we hope for short news for Sicily. Without the additional one could do more, “says Ryanair’s CEO. Wilson also explains that “Fiumicino is very expensive, very small Ciampino. For this Summer we have given an less aircraft to Fiumicino, it is a non -competitive airport even if it is investing in infrastructure .. If Ciampino had to grow, we would grow there, Fiumicino is not in the radar, we have no investment plans ».
