Ryanair hopeful of positive appeal result

RYANAIR will restart low fare flights between Strasbourg and London if the Court of Appeal in Nancy decides in the company’s favour before the end of December.

The company are hopeful of a positive outcome after the advice of the Commissaire de Government to reject Britair’s case that Ryanair received unfair state aid to fly from the state-owned airport.

Ryanair’s head of regulatory affairs Jim Callaghan said: “We have been heartened by the support for our case from the Commissaire de Government, and also by the hundreds of ordinary consumers who turned out in Nancy last week to support not just Ryanair but the return of low fare air travel to Strasbourg.
