Ryanair threatens to sue European Commission

Ryanair has condemned the European Commission's plans investigate the airline's costs base at Lubeck and Tampere airports and says it will sue the Comission for what it describes as its "repeated failure" to take action on a number of complaints about State aid to other airlines.

Ryanair accuses the Comission of ignoring the "blatant State Aid being doled out to Europe’s largest flag carriers including Air France, Alitalia, Lufthansa and Olympic".
