I don't claim to be a genius, but can someone tell me if I've got this right....
In the past, Ryanair would get airports in different cities to compete against each other for the privilege of Ryanair flying there. Now they have gone a step further, and made one organisation want to pay another for the privilege of owning a loss-making airport to which Ryanair flies, just to ensure that the airport maintains that privilege.
Somebody in Dublin is laughing, and something seems to have gone very wrong with economics....
