Jack, are you making this up as you go along or something?
The reason AerArann lost that case was because after the 24th November 2006 both were paying full house price and AerArann had no grounds to complain it was then fair competition.
The predatory pricing campaign was
nothing to do with landing charges in Cork. It was all to do with RE complaining against Ryanair for undercharging on the ORK DUB route.
FR could prove that their ticket prices were more than the cost of actual delivery of that seat, so the case fell.
My hole point of this rant is that Ryanair should have been paying full price to London-Gatwick and then we would have seen who would retain it, this did not happen and Ryanair had the upper hand - easyJet did not have the cash to burn.
How many cases are on-going in Belgium, France and Germany (probably more) into Ryanair receiving such subsidies? somehow airports think prostituting (basically) themselves to Ryanair will result in sustainable traffic.
Again - Show me one piece of evidence that Cork offered Ryanair an incentive for the Cork Gatwick route.
Especially when Cork Airport stated in 2006:
As with all other airports, Cork Airport cannot offer preferential rates on existing routes. However, Cork Airport does offer a generous incentive scheme to airlines planning to launch new routes to any EU destination.
