For all concerned.
There IS a rule in PPRuNe that says, if you make statements, even vaguely veiled ones, you may be called upon to provide PPRuNe with your personal details and real name, which PPRuNe may pass on in the event of possible litigation against it.
Think - and be sure what you are saying before clicking the Submit Reply button.

The Higher Administrative Court in Münster, Germany, has restricted today the operation hours of the airport NRN- Weeze (to between 6:00 - 22:00 only). FR's reaction: If the court's decision is not revised by Wednesday, 29 April - the base will be closed (causing the loss of 2.5 million passengers annually and 2,500 jobs, according to the Ryanair spokesperson).
Blackmailing again (not unjustifiably, though).

Also FR is thinking about to open a new base in Germany but not before next year in spring. Maybe FMM, LBC or FKB. But we will see.
Today FR celebrates 10th anniversary in Germany (HHN was their first airport) and next week there is a press conference at HHN. Are ZAD and CAG the only gifts?

@Babemagnet:
It looks like all the flights that would arrive back at Weeze after 23:00 are NOT bookable anymore. This means that some destinations(eg. Malaga) are not bookable anymore. I can understand this move by Ryanair as they are not sure if they are able to operate this flights.
And despite I believe dat reducing the opening times by 1 hour shouldn't make to much of a difference for Ryanair, it does create chaos in their summer schedules as most aircraft are timed to arrive back for the night between 23:00 and 24:00. It's more or less to late now to change the timings of all the other flights.
They will have to reschedule more or less all the flights for the winter season and try not to lose to many frequency's in that process.

Otherwise, the timing is unbelievable, such a hasty enforcement of that ruling. Why breaking thousands of binding contracts between carriers and PAX at so short notice... by the force of law?

2500 people they mean: cabin crew,pilots,mechanics,Handling,loaders,fireman,fuellers,atc, check inn,security,customs,imigration,bus drivers,etc etc Or you do not understand that????
babemagnet - 2500 people for a relatively small airport which is mainly used for Dutch and Germans to go on holiday and with *relatively* little inbound local tourism sounds on the high side, even when you include all the local economic benefits. I would be surprised if there are many hotels / restaurants around Weeze seeing *substantial* amounts of trade from inbound tourists. Sure, there are jobs that depend on Weeze, but I imagine most are direct jobs (e.g. firecrew or people working at shops in the airport) rather than indirect.
I imagine that the main business trade goes through Dusseldorf's main airport (or FRA) rather than NRN. I guess cargo would mainly head for the much larger FRA, AMS, CGN or LGG. As for tourism, I haven't seen many ads for '2 weeks in the sunny Ruhr !

Thats true.
You should be always careful, when anyone from FR opens their mouth. They tend to blow everything up like a baloon. People might think they are giving development aid to NRN.
