Ryanair today announced that if the Aix-en-Provence Prosecutor’s Office launches Court proceedings challenging Ryanair’s employment or contractual arrangements at Marseille under this new French Decree (which is currently under appeal to the European Court of Human Rights), then Ryanair will close its Marseille base at the end of the current Summer schedule (October), and from November it will only fly to/from Marseille on aircraft which are based outside France, and all of the mobile crews in Marseille will also be transferred to non French bases. This will mean that;four Irish registered aircraft will be transferred to other non French bases in the EU,
the loss of 120 Ryanair jobs at Marseille, as crews are transferred elsewhere in Europe,
a reduction in the number of Ryanair’s daily flights at Marseille from 33 to 16,
a 1,000,000 cut in Ryanair’s traffic at Marseille from over 1.7m to under 800,000 p.a.,
a cut in jobs supported by Ryanair at Marseille from 1,600 to less than 600,
a cut in the number of Ryanair routes served to/from Marseille Airport from 26 to 16.
