Strasbourg Airport, Strasbourg Chamber of Commerce and Ryanair today (Wednesday, 13th August 2003) confirmed that they had lodged a request with the Nancy Court of Appeal for a stay on its recent decision requiring the Strasbourg Chamber of Commerce to terminate its commercial agreement with Ryanair on the 24th of September next.
The three partners drew the court's attention to the fact that if a stay was not granted on or before the 24th of August, they had each agreed that Ryanair's low fare route between Strasbourg and London would be terminated on the 24th of September and alternative arrangements made for passengers with bookings after that date. The regular double daily flights would continue regardless until the 24th of September which is the date on which the administrative court has ordered the termination of the marketing arrangement between the Strasbourg Chamber of Commerce and Ryanair.
Ryanair's Head of Communication, Paul Fitzsimmons said:
"Clearly all three partners must respect the decisions of the Strasbourg Court. However since Ryanair's low fare services on the Strasbourg-London route carry almost 20,000 passengers a month, or 200,000 passengers a year, it is important that we try everything in our power to try to preserve the route. We appreciate that many of the Court's services are on holidays at this time of year, but that is why we must respectfully ask the Court for a stay on the judgement on or before the 24th of August.
"If we do not receive such a stay - in the interests of consumers - or if the Court is not in a position to make a decision on or before that date, we will be left with no alternative other than to terminate the route with effect from 24th of September next, stop taking bookings thereafter and make alternative arrangements for passengers who wish to travel after that date.
"Ryanair and our two partners remain committed to the London-Strasbourg route. We will take every step to pursue our appeal with the utmost urgency and we are confident that if and when we win the appeal, Ryanair will restore its twice daily low fare services on the London-Strasbourg route which has done so much to create 200 new jobs and deliver over 130,000 visitors for tourism in the Alsace region."
So we'll know on the 24th August?Originally posted by Mayo_Bhoy

and what would this "alternative arrangements" consist of I wonder?
Any news on this?
COJONES:
Ryanair have said the route to Strasbourg has been suspended due to those hijos de putas in Nancy and the EU.
PUTA MADRE:
Flights will go to Baden Baden (so good they named it twice!) instead (40kms away), but more importantly on a direct railway line to Basle. Refunds or transfers will be given. Checkout Ryanair.com, then go to news.
This is the cooooooooooooolest footy forum I've ever seen!
Has anyone looked into getting the train from Baden Baden to Strasbourg? Is Baden Baden airport miles away from Baden Baden and hard to get out of like most airports Ryanair use?
surely, if you've booked passage from london to strasbourg it's up to ryanair to see that you get to your intended destination, they can't just abandon you in baden-baden when you bought a ticket to travel elsewhere. they'll have to lay on transport to strasbourg i'd imagine.

We're not arrogant, we're just better.
They are offering a refund which I will be accepting and am flying now into Geneva, for two reasons. 1. Neuchatel where the U21 game is being held is halfway between G and Basle and therefore more convenient now. 2. Ryanair, for all its merits, is the sort of airline that will not do too much cuando la mierda choca el ventilador. It's cheap, mostly cheerful, but sometimes nasty.

A guy sitting at an airport bar in Atlanta noticed a beautiful woman sitting next to him. He thought to himself, "Wow, she's so gorgeous she must be a flight attendant. But which airline does she work for?" Hoping to pick her up, he leaned towards her and uttered the Delta slogan: "Love to fly and it shows?"Originally posted by tiktok

She gave him a blank, confused stare and he immediately thought to himself," oh sh*t, she doesn't work for Delta". A moment later, another slogan popped into his head.He leaned towards her again, "Something special in the air?" She gave him the same confused look. He mentally kicked himself, and scratched American Airlines off the list.
Next he tried the United slogan: "I would really love to fly your friendly skies?" This time the woman turned on him: "What the f**k do you want?" The man smiled, then slumped back in his chair, and said..."Aahhh, Ryanair."
