Ryanair is benefiting from the current recession, says airline boss Michael O'Leary. But he’s suffered a dampner not only in his attempts to negotiate crisis-induced super-discounts with Airbus, airports are also no longer willing to meet the Irish low-cost airline part-way in its demands for fee reduction, explains Stefan Höffinger, Managing Director of Arthur D. Little Austria and Head of the consultancy’s Air Traffic Competence Center.
