Ryanair says it could have created 500 maintenance jobs in Dublin Airport; DAA announces 250 new maintenance jobs
Ryanair said last week it confirmed that that it would invest over £8m to build a new (second) hangar facility at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, which will see over 200 new engineering and support jobs created at Prestwick, which will now undertake a larger amount of the maintenance of Ryanair’s fleet of 220 Boeing aircraft. The airline on Sunday released copies of its letter to/from Tánaiste Mary Coughlan confirming that Ryanair had offered to create up to 500 maintenance jobs in the former SRT hangar at Dublin Airport, if the Government would agree to procure that the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) sell or lease the SRT hangar for the same (arms length) price that the DAA had purchased it from SR Technics, the Swiss company which closed its maintenance operation there last year. However, the DAA said on Sunday that two companies will employ 250 people in aircraft maintenance at Dublin Airport.
