At least this has given Ryanair an opportunity to raise some funds another - handy given their profits warning. They have announced (in a fit of pique I would suggest) that as a result of losing this case they will be surcharging all their passengers 50p, to cover the cost of providing wheelchairs at Stansted, Gatwick, Dublin and Shannon, they only airports they use that do charge. By that calculation it would seem that every 36th passenger on Ryanair requires a wheelchair at one of the above 4 airports. Ot they are trying to make a quick buck - you choose!

I can't help feeling that Ryanair may get a backlash on this one - most of their vitriol is levelled at airports and similar, who the public will feel are fair game, but this one leaves a bad taste.
