Ryanair flies into more problems over Marseille Operation

According to Business Financial Newswire - Ryanair, the budget airline, has reacted furiously to allegations carried in the French newspaper Le Figaro over their Marseille operations. The newspaper alleged that French crew were not fully paying their tax, social insurance and pension contributions as required by EU law.

Ryanair contends the claims are completely false and has notified crews that it will close the Marseille base in November if challenged by the Aix-en-Provence prosecutor. Michael O'Leary, MD of Ryanair announced: 'We are not prepared to have our good name and reputation damaged by these unattributed leaks in the French media or by an unjustified ongoing investigation. If the French authorities don't want us to invest in bases and jobs at regional airports, then we will simply move those aircraft and jobs elsewhere.'
