Danish airport warned to drop tax favours for Ryanair
The Danish civil aviation authority has threatened to revoke the operating license of Tistrup airport near the central city of Aarhus because it allegedly favours Ryanair over its competitors, reports Agence France Presse.
The aviation authority has ordered the third biggest airport in Denmark to end by 1 October a practice of taxing Ryanair 35 Danish Kroner per passenger, half the rate charged to other airlines.
“We warned the Aarhus airport several times this summer, and we will revoke its operating license if it does not confirm to international rules to treat all companies equally,” said Tina Larsen, spokeswoman for the aviation authority.
“This practice represents an obstacle to competition and constitutes unjustifiable favouritism,” she added.
Ryanair is already facing European Commission scrutiny and a court ruling against its commercial practices at Charleroi airport, south of Brussels and in the French city of Strasbourg. Details: www.afp.com
