EU Court Slaps EC over Charleroi

Europe’s #2 court slapped the commission over its ruling that the agreement between Ryanair and the Belgian Airport constituted State Aid. I don’t think this one is over yet. It will probably go one stage higher. I am actually a believer that the local authority and airport should be able to operate commercially and this was an economic decision. So lets see if this one gets all the way or is left to stand.

At the moment it opens the door for many secondary airports to encourage airlines to come in with incentives. Hmmm secret admirers of Ryanair this Judge types

Cheers
