A lie
What do you expect them to say? 'We do not have enough pilots because we treat them worse than we treat our customers'
'technical fault' absolves the airline of liability, so no compensation to pax.
Crew shortage is a failing in the airline infrastructure and in this case does attract compensation

Indeed. I could not depart a scheduled flight one day as we were waiting for another flight deck crew member to position in from another base. They were so short of crew last summer there was no standby cover on many days. We had a couple of hours waiting and the FR website said it was an ATC delay!
Ryanair Condemns EU Commission Bias against Low Fares Airlines...
Hmmm EU saying no bar on people using LCCs to travel to Bruseels on EU paid business but AMEX their own travel agency say there is.....
Why does it surprise anybody that those in power in EU say one thing but those who "do the doing" state very clearly what the paramenters they work within are......

Mr O'Leary also said he did not expect any headline growth for Ryanair in 2014 and 2015.
"We'll still be opening up new routes and new bases, but be closing the worst performing airports and bases. We'll continue to have new route and airport growth through 2014 and 2015 as a result of churn, but we won't have any topline growth," he said.

Mr O'Leary also said today Ryanair is interested in acquiring the State's 25 per cent holding in Aer Lingus but claimed the Government would not sell it to the airline.
Rumours say that Danish trade unions plan to impose a blockade on Ryanair flights in Aarhus. It's related to the airline's lack of recognition of any local union.

Does anyone know if its possible to access ryanair.com using a Blackberry.
I guessed at https://m.ryanair.com/Login.aspx
There is a site at that URL but it isnt a customer facing site.

Montenegro
Despite the already agreed "marketing support", amounting to almost 20 EUR per pax, Ryanair will not enter Montenegro. Uncertain about the profitability, exposed to damaging publicity, "the commercial elements being still not acceptable", terms of this agreement "could be re-discussed in the future", etc.
Lack of resources perhaps?

EU 261/ 2004 "Doesn't (seem) to apply to Ryanair"
@ silverhawk
" 'technical fault' absolves the airline of liability, so no compensation to pax.
Crew shortage is a failing in the airline infrastructure and in this case does attract compensation ..."
Not true.
It is for the airline to PROVE that any technical problem was unavoidable and could not have reasonably been foreseen.
It is not acceptable for Ryanair (or any other airline) to claim that "all our planes and crew were fully committed; ergo we couldn't provide a relief plane and crew in the case of a major mechanical failure" as any well managed airline must, like a well managed bus service for example, anticipate unexpected problems and build in some reasonable degree of spare provision.
The difference is of course that the obligation for airline is set out implicitly in the above regulation (with clear penalties for failure to provide the service contracted by the passenger specified there too) but this is not the case for bus services.
Might it possibly be because of Ryanair's outrageous use of one of its aircraft by the then EU Transport Commissioner at the time of the last Irish EU referendum that the enforcement of these regulations against Ryanair remains more than somewhat limited ?

If that was the case then all cases regarding Ryanair and EU since then would be in their favour.
What is outrageous about a company doing something in support of something in its best interests ?
Think you have been reading and watching to many X files and conspiracy novels.
Many thanks Racedo for your constructive replies. I imagine your the Ryanair representative for Surrey then?

Ryanair hit by new EU inquiry | Business | The Guardian
it is currently investigating 17 different Ryanair airport agreements
J636
How could that be !!!! Shurely shome mistake.
Afterall it gave an aircraft for use in Ireland for 1 day so EU can't investigate them ...................if people's claims are to be believed.
