Cool

Ryanair got the Bergerac Chamber of Commerce and Industry (which owns Bergerac airport) to pay them to land there instead of the other way around... The locals were probably scared of the tourism consequences of losing the Ryanair "service".

Then MOL felt emboldened and tried the same trick at Grenoble-St. Geoirs... Trouble is, Ryanair hadn't done their homework: Grenoble airport is owned and operated by Lyon airport, who have enough traffic anyway to ignore such threats from Ryanair. Bottom line: they told MOL to get stuffed!

Way to go, guys!
