hi,
i’ve just seen a news report about ryanair having to suspend the Strasbourg service due to a French court judgement (don’t know the exact reason). the shots used in the article showed a Ryanair 727 on its takeoff roll. i never knew that the airline had ever operated the aircraft. perhaps they had leased the aircraft from somewhere?
anyone know anything about it?
thanks in advance,
adam

They have susspended the route as the tourism council there paid them a few million for advertising. AIr France thought this was unfair so have brought leagal procedings and won saying Ryanair have to pay for the advertising themselves. Ryanair say with the small load factor they cant afford that so have pulled the route so people have to use Air France service now.
It means they could be forced out of the other airports also.

Yep it’s a BAC 1-11. The press don’t seem to have any modern Ryanair shots. Whenever there is anything about them on TV they always show the same old 1-11 clip!
