Ryanair has awarded a “multi-million pound” contract to a Tyrone engineering firm to deliver a 32 strong fleet of airport buses. Mallaghan Engineering is a long established manufacturer of airport ground support equipment but manufacturing buses is a relatively new departure for the Dungannon headquartered company. Ryanair has been one of the company’s longest-standing customers and has used Mallaghan ground support equipment at many of its European bases for the last 20 years. Adrian Dunne, Ryanair director of operations, said the airline was delighted to be the launch customer for the new Mallaghan bus. Mr Dunne said the airline had worked closely with Mallaghan in relation to the design, specification and delivery of its specific airport apron bus.
