Ryanair can no longer charge credit card fees in France, after Air France complained in a court about these surcharges and won its case.

Ryanair will appeal the court decision, but in the meantime it must comply.

Ryanair don't charge credit card fee any more.
But there is a discount if you pay by debit card.
A way of outsmarting Air France and its French judges !

Ryanair has no plans to cut its profit forecast for the current financial year despite warnings by rivals Air France-KLM and Lufthansa. Ryanair shares climbed 2% to €6.79 following the comments.
Forward bookings are "running cumulatively 7 percentage points ahead on a rolling basis... into September, October," said Michael O'Leary, adding that this would equate to an increase in passenger numbers of between 4 and 5 million passengers for the full year despite no growth in capacity.
"An awful lot of it is we are just taking passengers off other competitors" following customer service improvements such as cuts to fees for carry on bags and assigned seating, he said.

Ryanair in May forecast that it would make a profit of between €580m and €620m in the year to March 2015.
Air France-KLM last week warned its 2014 profit could be as much as 12% lower than previously predicted, mainly due to overcapacity and resulting weak prices.
Lufthansa last month cut back its profit targets for the next two years, citing competition with low-cost rivals like Ryanair and easyJet as one of the factors.

Ryanair will probably submit an expression of interest in troubled Cyprus Airways which is up for sale, Chief Executive Michael O’Leary said on Tuesday.

The Cypriot government in mid-July invited non-binding expressions of interest in its shares or assets in Cyprus Airways, the state-controlled airline which has posted heavy losses for years.
The deadline for submissions is July 23, and requires a non-binding expression of interest to consider a potential binding offer.

The Cypriot airline has been selling assets to keep afloat, including slots at London’s Heathrow airport. The state owns 93 percent of the airline.

Ryanair must repay close to €10M in illegal subsidies by some regional airports, over €6M alone from Nimes, France, after the EC ruled today that the Irish airline had broken rules on state aid.

extract :

Ryanair has welcomed the EU Commission's confirmation that the company's airport agreements at Niederrhein Airport comply with the State aid rules (Market Economy Investor Principle).

It says this finding is consistent with the EU Commission's and EU Court's previous rulings that Ryanair's airport agreements with Aarhus, Bratislava, Charleroi, Marseille, Berlin Schönefeld and Tampere airports also comply with EU State aid rules.

Ryanair also noted the EU Commission's decisions concerning Pau (ceased operations in March 2011) and Angouleme (ceased operations in October 2009) airports, and Nimes airport where Ryanair currently operates 4 routes. All of Ryanair's airport arrangements comply with the EU State aid rules and Ryanair has therefore instructed its lawyers to appeal these rulings to the extent they erroneously allege otherwise.

Ryanair has confirmed it will appeal the European Union (EU) Commission's order to repay almost €10m (£7.9m) as a result of its operations at three French airports leading to 'an undue advantage'. A statement from the company said it had "instructed its lawyers to appeal these rulings". The airports in question are Pau, Angouleme and Nimes.
