O'Leary calls on EU commission expedite investigation

Speaking at a conference in Brussels today, Chief Executive of Ryanair, Michael O'Leary, has called on the EU Commission to expedite its investigation into Ryanair's cost base at Brussels Charleroi Airport.

O'Leary said: "We remain confident that Commissioner Loyola de Palacio's decision will put in place a framework that will allow publicly owned airports such as Charleroi and Strasbourg to compete on a level playing field against privately owned airports all over Europe in order to win Ryanair's fast growing, low fare business.
