A law that is not open to interpretation ... that's a first

Europe has two kind of laws: EU-Rules that may not be changed and that are applicable in all EU member states, and EU-Directives that is open to interpretation indeed, and which is European legislation that each EU member state has to apply into own legislation.

Example of this interpretation - and to remain a bit on topic with aviation & travel: a travel package Directive from 1990 says that all EU member states must ensure that everyone who sells travel packages, has an insolvency insurance. Belgium has settled this European legislation through a seperate Belgian law from 1994: the Reiscontractenwet / Loi Contrat de Voyages. The Netherlands has adapted this European legislation through article 512 in their Burgerlijk Wetboek 7 / Civil Codex 7. The Netherlands has added that the insolvency insurance must be announced in all publications, including commercial publications, thus websites. Belgium hasn't added that obligation: publication on the order form and invoice is enough here. Belgium has added in the Reiscontractenwet that package deal organizers also must have a liability insurance - the Netherlands hasn't.

That's not the point, law is always open to interpretation, that's why there are millions of court cases every day where 2 parties defend their own interpretation. Obviously the experts have a different view to you.

Ryanair to start feeder flights for Norwegian this summer

Irish low-cost carrier (LCC) Ryanair and LCC Norwegian plan to start joint feeder flights from summer 2017 onward.

“We are ready to cooperate with Norwegian right now,” Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said on the sidelines of the Airlines for Europe (A4E) summit in Brussels. “We are finalizing technical implementation as Ryanair and Norwegian operate on two different reservation systems,” he said, adding, “It is better to work with them instead of compete with them [Norwegian].”

Both carriers are A4E members.

Norwegian CEO Kjos said his company is still young in the long-haul business. “We operate 12 Boeing 787s; in three years we will have more than 40 787s,” Kjos said.

That's not the point, law is always open to interpretation, that's why there are millions of court cases every day where 2 parties defend their own interpretation. Obviously the experts have a different view to you.

And who are "the experts" you are referring to? A journalist from Het Laatste Nieuws, quoting one travel agent without legal background. Or perhaps O'Leary - the man who says he will never pay the indemnity as per 261/2004 without court order: "let them sue us - most passengers won't".

No sir, my interpretation of 261/2004 is solid. I strongly contradict what Het Laatste Nieuws and their experts write. When Ryanair cancels a confirmed flight, the passengers have the right to choose between a refund or a rerouting.

(Remember 21st Jan 2017, that TUI/Jetairfly cracked windshield after take off from LGG on an Embraer ERJ-190? Your experts from Het Laatste Nieuws wrote it was a Boeing).

Maybe your interpretation is solid to yourself, others have another opinion, that's why there are court cases. That's exactly my point in my previous post.

Ryanair is likely to take up an option to buy a further 100 B737 MAX to add to the 100 that it has already committed to purchasing from the US manufacturer from 2019. Carrier has until the start of 2018 to decide.

Ryanair plans to integrate Berlin Tegel into its network in the future, even once Berlin Brandenburg opens. Carrier plans to station 20 aircraft at Tegel within three years if it continues to remain open. (But I thought that Tegel would be closed once Berlin Brandenburg opens, which could indeed take more than 3 years...)

MOL can say just about anything and dozens of newspapers will write about.

20 Ryanair aircraft at TXL.

Probably end of flying career for this 20 year old cabin crew member: catched with 39.000 Euro cash from a Ryanair safebox:

When will Ryanair release all flights of the Winter1718 season for booking? Currently most routes from Belgium are bookable. I know that new routes still need to be put up for sale, but from BRU I can't find any flights to Berlin, Dublin, Lisbon and Venice Treviso. Just wondering what game FR is playing...

[flymd11]

Some new routes such as CRL-VAR are also not bookable.

[sn26567]

Ryanair launched its first Frankfurt-am-Main 2017 winter schedule, with seven based aircraft, and new routes to Athens, Barcelona, Brindisi, Catania, Glasgow, Gran Canaria, Krakow, Lanzarote, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Manchester, Milan, Pisa, Porto, Seville, Tenerife, Toulouse, Valencia and Venice.

Right in the middle of the Lufthansa empire! Curious to see how LH will react: big expansion of Eurowings at FRA, with the risk to see the profits of the group dwindle?

Also, it seems that the Ryanair base at Hahn (120 km from Frankfurt) is doomed...

Ryanair won slots at Pescara Airport and will plans to operate flights from Bergamo, London, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Barcelona and Charleroi, with Copenhagen and Krakow being added to the list by the end of March 2017.

Eilat Ovda

8 new routes: Baden Baden (2 weekly), Berlin (2 weekly), Brussels Charleroi (2 weekly), Frankfurt Hahn (2 weekly), Gdansk (2 weekly), Milan Bergamo (2 weekly), Poznan (2 weekly) & Warsaw (2 weekly)

12 routes in total: Bratislava (2 weekly), Budapest (2 weekly), Krakow (2 weekly) & Kaunas (2 weekly).

British Airways just decided to add seats in its A320/A321 fleet. And thus we have this paradoxical situation: LCC Ryanair provides more comfort than legacy airlines.

Ryanair is keen to fly from Lelystad instead of Schiphol. Michael O'Leary urges airport to be opened before 2019.

29" in a LH A 320? Not true at all .. Felw the Ryanair 737-800 a zillions of times and the LH 320 even more and hell I take an LH seat over anything else .. I am 1m90.. I can hold out a Ryanair seat for an hour and a half max before having serious backpain .. And don't put me in a window seat or I get really claustrofobic .. Air Baltic and Ryanair are the worst in seat comfort ...

Ryanair launched its first Naples winter 2017/18 schedule, with two based aircraft and new routes to Bologna, Brussels (CRL), Budapest, Dublin, Krakow, Malta, Porto, Thessaloniki and Wroclaw.
