Re: Ryanair in 2018

Re: Ryanair cancels 2,100 flights in Sep-Oct 2017, and 18,000 more in Nov 2017-Mar 2018

Ryanair has already said that it does not recognise the validity of the Court case in Belgium: its general conditions say that only Irish courts are competent. And I think they are right. But I do not see this as a problem. At least here it is easier to go after foreign company in foreign court usi...

Ovda (VDA) will be closed and new Ramon (ETH/LLER) airport will be opened before new routes start.

Transavia stopped selling Eindhoven-Innsbruck for summer season. They were available to book a few weeks ago. Looks like the route will remain seasonal winter only instead of year round as in the past.
