It's from The Independent, UK Competition Commission may tell Ryanair to sell half their stake in Aer Lingus.
Ryanair's dream to be grounded: Watchdog poised to order Michael O'Leary to halve carrier's stake in Aer Lingus - Business News - Business - The Independent
The final report is due in July.

Ryanair have been successfully swimming against the current since they started. Look where they are today.
Looking at the from the safety of the river bank their journey certainly seems rougher than going with the flow but one can't argue with the success they are having especially when you realise the other competitors are actually being swept downstream and don't seem to appreciate the finish line is actually behind them, in the other direction.

"Nice one if it happens"
Hanger 6, it may not be the dream or victory you think it will be if MOL is forced to sell his shareholding in EI. MOL is a very astute business man. If he can't buy EI then he may just decide to flood the market on EI routes and virtually run EI into the ground. If that we're to happen then I'm quite sure the Irish government would go cap in hand begging for FR to buy what remained of EI. Food for thought?

IAG to buy it and use Dublin as a stopover to clear customs and immigration for some of their US flights and as a stopover on way back to drop off and pick up. BA strength is as a predominantely a UK-US carrier.
IAG then use the additional slots they have to further develop their route network to the east.

If IAG developed a big advantage using this service, then it may well miraculously just disappear.

Mirrored my thoughts Skipness, fr take over a sure thing...wrong, share price will dive without mol..... wrong, EI pension deal a poor deal... Market reaction?... wrong. You really can't get anything right can you? I realise of course you have your agenda but as truth and Mol are strange bed fellows so reality and old racedo have long since parted company.
To be fair your posts have given me pause for thought in years gone by, a kind of 'what if the little fella's right? ' but you've been so wrong for so long now... Best thing you can do is change your handle, cos baby this ones lost all credibility on this thread. Now you have yourself a really super day racedo... got notin but love for you.

Looks like the EI share price has risen sharply on the news that Ryanair will be forced to sell their stake, currently trading at €1.63!!!
Highest Share price since September 2008, co-incidentally just before the second Ryanair takeover bid... Looks like Ryanair's stake really has been keeping the share price artificially low...

Ohhhhhhhh that's genius. "Look chaps, we've had enough of flying from LHR to the US direct, we've had a whizz bang idea of using Dublin. In Ireland. Then we can lose even more flying East where we're being killed by the loss of our QANTAS JV, Emirates, Qatar, Etihad and Thai. Spaffing idea eh?"

How can the UK competition commission force a foreign (Irish owned) business to do anything?
Surely that is what the European bodies, or the Irish competition watchdog is there for.
Is this a case of the UK (again) forgetting that the Irish Republic is neither part of the UK, nor an overseas colony?

They can't but they can stop Ryanair from operating in the UK.

Ultimately I see Ryanair selling their share before an appeals process runs its course should an investor make a satisfactory offer for part or all of their shareholding. When will then happen is a huge fanfare with the usual rhetoric of Aer Lingus as an airline is doomed etc etc will take place for a few days. After that the event will be forgotten and life will carry on as normal for both airlines.
