Ryanair is to move some of its operations from its base at Stansted Airport north of London to Spain because the Spanish have decided to drop landing fees in an effort to keep tourism in the air.

Greece has also eliminated landing fees and other airports are apparently giving discounts to airlines to keep routes open and traffic flowing.

The British, on the other hand, are going ahead with plans to INCREASE air taxes. Which is why O’Leary says he’ll take his “movable assets” – his aircraft – elsewhere.
