Ryanair eyes significant court victory over rival airline Lufthansa
A German court said it is likely to rule against a bid by Deutsche Lufthansa, Europe’s second-biggest airline, to stop what it claimed was a government subsidy to low-cost competitor Ryanair Holdings at an airport.
The higher regional court of Koblenz told Lufthansa that it intends to reject the case, the court said in a statement posted on its website last night. Lufthansa claims that Ryanair is receiving a subsidy in the form of lower rates at Frankfurt-Hahn airport.
