German carriers win right to challenge Ryanair over subsidies
Analysis
Germany's Federal Court of Justice awarded the German carriers the right to pursue legal action over subsidies received by Ryanair. The two German airlines allege that the subsidies came in the form of lower airport charges at Frankfurt Hahn and Hamburg Lubeck airports. The European Commission is also currently investigating allegations the Irish LCC enjoys subsidies at other German airports. Ryanair maintains it never sought or accepted state aid.
