Logically you would think it's the North American potential. Apart from that, the only other possibility is single-minded hatred on his part, and using Ryanair's money to prove a point.

I'm delighted the EU have stopped this yet again. We've seen previously how Ryanair operate in stamping out opponents who set up new routes. I can't just hop in a car and drive to Berlin - being an island nation we are in a fairly unique situation. As things stand, no other airline would consider coming into Ireland because of what Ryanair would do on the route.
