Ryanair post Charleroi

摘要

So the EC has ruled on Ryanair/Charleroi, declaring illegal part Oof the subsidy provided by the airport and the regional government of Wallonia, mainly because it contravened private market investor principles (see Aviation Strategy, September 2003). The Commission has laid down the following ground rules for airport incentive deals: 1. Must be fully transparent and non-discriminatory; 2. Must last no more than five years for point-to-point European routes; 3. Any one-off start-up support must take account of the actual costs of opening the routes; and 4. Support packages cannot exceed 50% of net start-up costs.
