Court subsidies verdict forces Ryanair to quit Strasbourg
Ryanair has suffered a blow to its European expansion strategy based on using smaller airports with low airline charges to contribute significantly to its low operating cost base. A French court has ruled in favour of an Air France claim that Strasbourg airport unfairly subsidised Ryanair flights. As a result, Ryanair will end its two daily flights from its London Stansted hub to Strasbourg on September 24 and instead fly to nearby Baden-Baden, 40km away in south-west Germany.
Two first destinations will be STN and Porto, from April 2013.
