Ryanair expects EC to seek repayments

Low-cost airline Ryanair said today that it expects the European Commission to seek repayments for funding received by the airline to run operations from its continental hub at Belgium's Charleroi airport.

"There are portions of the arrangement that are going to be repaid. It's going to be in millions of euros," Ryanair official Jim Callaghan told journalists following a meeting with commission officials.
