Rynair is at it again :!:
Ryanair dealt a blow in volcanic ash case
Ryanair has lost the latest round in its legal battle to avoid paying expenses for passengers disrupted by delayed flights during the Icelandic volcano eruption in 2010.
The EU states that airlines must provide passenger care when flights are cancelled by “extraordinary circumstances”.
But Ryanair argued that the circumstances surrounding the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano were so extraordinary that the rules should not apply.
From then until 17 May 2010, the airspace of a number of Member States to and from which Ryanair provided services was intermittently closed, due to risk presented by the volcanic ash cloud resulting from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano.
