Could anyone explain how the 25p ETS charge is worked out? If you try and do a voluntary offset for a short haul sector, the price is closer to £1-2, although I'm sure that still includes a bleeding hearts margin.
So for once, is MOL passing on the charge at the same rate it costs him?

Ryanair cancels 13 Budapest flights over "bizarre and stupid" border control practice
Hungarians seem to be particularly adept at turning good things into problems. Can't help wonder how much this was influenced by the Wizz Air CEO, who used to run Malev.

Mol hopes "Common sense will prevail". That's new, as he normally can only see "£" signs. Sorry, Euros. Unreasonable? Perhaps, but why shouldn't Hungarian authorities play hard ball? It's their turf.
Meanwhile, only the crew and pax are inconvenienced. At least some things haven't changed.

"FR crews are based in Budapest for immigration and customs purposes while at the meantime are Dublin based for inland revenue and social security duties?"
And a lot of Wizz Air "employees" are based in BUD (and elsewhere) throughout their network, whilst paying "Swiss Tax" on their earnings - and neglecting to take care of tax liabilities nearer home.
So, I don't think Ryanair are any worse than Wizz Air in this particular instance.
As for how, or why Ryanair is being singled out, you can ask are their Chickens coming home to roost? For so long MOL has belittled and bullied others, that it is a joy to see his "plans" not working smoothly.

Surely if the crews are not going landside there is no requirement for immigration checks? Do Wizzair have to do the same? Looks like a bit of good old government protectionism to me.

Well I can confirm that in this case Ryanair is right. Their Policy is really screwed up.
If you're coming from non schengen and planning on doing two more sectors you still have to get out of the airplane. Close it up, walk inside the terminal to the passport control and then get airside again.
Walk to the airplane where you now need to do the security checks all over again.

Doesn't matter if the policy is wrong, if you want to play in someone elses backyard, you play by their rules. If not, play somewhere else.
Who was it that said that ?

Problems in BUD are becoming more clear. The reason two flights were not allowed to depart was because crew would not clear Border Police and not what Ryanair put up on its website.
Operator of BUD will mediate between the Police and Ryanair.
