  • Summary of Hearing with Dublin Airport Authority
    RYANAIR/AER LINGUS MERGER INQUIRY Summary of third party hearing with Dublin Airport Authority held on 26 March 2013 Competition between Ryanair and Aer Lingus 1. Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) considered Ryanair and Aer Lingus to be each other’s closest competitor and very actively competing with each other in the short-haul market, although the two airlines did not operate the same model, in the sense that Ryanair was a European network-wide carrier with many bases across Europe. Ryanair and Aer Lingus accounted for approaching 90 per cent of the market between the UK and the Republic of Ireland (RoI) and operated a number of overlapping routes. 2. Since 2007, which had seen a peak of activity at the airport, there had been a recession in the Irish market which had intensified competition between Ryanair and Aer Lingus—while total capacity had fallen, directly overlapping capacity had increased. In addition, Aer Lingus Regional—previously Aer Arann—had come within the Aer Lingus umbrella as a franchised operation and was operating essentially as a component of the Aer Lingus network. It said that other airlines, such as BA and Air France, had relatively small market shares in the RoI–UK market. 3. Specifically, the Ryanair/Aer Lingus combined share between the UK and the RoI had risen from 86 per cent in 2007 to 90 per cent in 2012. The number of overlapping routes had remained constant over that period at six routes. The number of over- lapping routes to the UK in which Ryanair and Aer Lingus had a combined market share of 100 per cent had increased from three in 2007 to five in 2012 and the proportion of total market capacity accounted for by the overlapping routes had increased from three-quarters of the market in 2007 to 85 per cent in 2012.
