Aer Lingus shares fell sharply in Dublin today after April passenger figures showed that growth failed to keep up with extra capacity.

Aer Lingus carried 2.4% more passengers in April compared with the same month in 2006, but the percentage of seats filled was lower as the airline put on more flights.

Lunchtime shares were down 3% at €3.06.
