RYR bases in Norway WILL follow Norwegian labor law

[SlowAndSilly]

Ryanair withdraw its appeal from Norwegian high court.

It appears that RYR crew lounges aren't Irish territory after all. At least not in Norway. More sovereign nations to follow?

My guess is that Ryanair don't want a ruling in the high court in any country to go in that direction. Especially not at this time as the European Court of Justice soon will try a similar case out of Belgium.

After the Norwegian Government announced the introduction of an extra tax on air travel Ryanair is leaving Rygge and instead moving some flights to OSL. However, it is expected there will be no crew base in Norway anymore.

A ruling in the highest court would be definite in Norway and might also prove to be a precedent for other court rulings. Hence Ryanair are withdrawing its appeal.

There will be a high court ruling, eventually.

In the mean time. RYR pilots based at RYG can enjoy Norwegian compulsory pension plan, holiday pay (feriepenger), paid sick leave etc.

Let's see how long they keep those bases..... Shutting down a base isn't that difficult.

RYG already closing and there are no other bases?

I thought they had also a base at OSL, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa ;)
