Ryanair has carried out its threat to scrap services
between London and Brussels’ Charleroi airport, in an
escalation of its battle with the European commission over
illegal state aid from the Belgian authorities. In its
summer schedule, it was revealed that its eight daily
flights between the two cities would end on April 29.
Ryanair blamed the EC’s ruling this month that the
airline’s landing deal at Charleroi was illegal. Rivals say
that the route may have been hit by competition from rival
airlines and Eurostar.

Ryanair has banned eight passengers for life for
compromising passenger and crew safety by smoking on board.
The eight people were on different flights, and all cases
have been referred to police.

Never let it be said that we are always horrible about
Ryanair. Here’s a website where you can see some
positive comments about our friend: http://www.ciao.co.uk/ryanair_com__77254
This website allows you to enter your views, pros and cons
about using Ryanair. All three of the pros that the Beetle
saw when she looked at it were to do with price –
it’s cheap, the cons say impractical deals, no meals
on board and a slow website.

For the sake of balance, here’s another website
where you can record your own Ryanair misery story:
Stories include luggage not being on the same flight as the
passenger and all the hassle involved in getting some sort
of recompense from Ryanair, money taken without
confirmation and comments about the way Ryanair operate
– little things, like using premium rate telephone
numbers if you want to contact them and lack of e-mail
address. It’s sober reading.
