Surely if BAA is serious about wanting this money it should just impound a RYR aircraft? I bet the money would be paid by lunchtime if this happenned!
If this non-payment of landing fees is specific to RYR and no other airlines are late payers then it tells me a lot about RYR's business tactics....
One of my previous employers (A major bank) had a (unofficial) policy of not paying any invoices until the nasty letters started to arrive. It was done on the basis that the suppliers were normally small guys and couldnt afford to cause trouble with the bank as they needed the cashflow more than the bank needed the service supplied.
Finance Director got a shock one day when all the PC's crashed as a software provider came in and removed all his programmes. We needed the programmes and said software guy left the office only when payment was made. Drastic action but it worked. Taught the FD a lesson though!
Does anyone know is RYR known in the business as a late payer?
