Travel Agents 1. Air France succeeded in blocking competition from Ryanair on the London to Strasbourg route. The result has been predictable, Air France is again ripping off consumers with ?800 return fares and passenger numbers have plummeted from 20,000 per month to just over 2,000.

Travel Deals 3. Now Air France is trying to prevent Ryanair from using lower cost facilities in Marseille Provence Airport, which were offered to Air France but were rejected.

Air Fares "Ryanair has therefore today submitted a further complaint to the European Commission against Air France on the basis of an abuse of dominance under the European competition rules. In no other European member state does the national airline hold such a dominant position and engage in such abusive practices in order to block competition.

Travel Insurance "Last month, Ryanair filed a complaint to the European Commission regarding approximately 1 billion euros worth of state aid that Air France has received from the French Government in the form of subsidised domestic landing and passenger fees. This illegal state aid has enabled Air France to dominate the French market and force smaller competitors off the market.

Travel State Gov "If Jean-Cyrille Spinetta is truly concerned about "equality", then he should:

Travel Trailer 1. have accepted Marseille Airport's offer of lower cost, efficient facilities instead of abusing the French Court system to prevent competition.

Ata Airlines 2. stop ripping off French consumers and start charging the same fares as Ryanair.

Travel Agencies 3. start paying the same landing fees on domestic traffic as Ryanair has to pay on international flights instead of receiving illegal subsidies from the French Government.

Travel Guide "We are calling on the European Commission to put an end to Air France's abusive practices in the French market and to promote competition from low fares airlines, which have been successful in bringing low fares, competition and choice to every other European Member State, except France!"
