Today, in accordance with its earlier declaration, Ryanair lodged an official appeal with European Court of First Instance (CFI) against the EU Commission's decision to block its merger with Aer Lingus - calling it "unlawful and politically motivated".
“We do trust that the Court will overturn this decision in the interest of the consumers and competition. As always with the European Commission, it seems to have different rules for the “national” carriers, and another stance while considering Ryanair”, declared FR's Jim Callaghan.
