Oggi l'ufficio stampa di Ryanair sta pubblicando lamentele a raffica. Dopo la questine di Newquay ecco pure un attacco alla gestione del traffico aereo:

RYANAIR CALLS FOR MORE EFFICIENT AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL
GREATER EFFICIENCY, LOWER EMISSIONS, LOWER FARES

Ryanair, Europe’s No. 1 low fares airline today (11th August) called for the implementation of a more efficient European air traffic control system that would reduce fuel burn, emissions, flight times and fares.
Politicians and European Air Navigation Service Providers have been aware of these issues for years but because of state monopolies, archaic work practices and a slow pace of change, European air traffic control remains a patchwork of inefficiency.

Peter Sherrard, Ryanair’s Head of Communications said,

“When the Open Skies policy liberalized air traffic in Europe in 1997, it resulted in massively lower fares for ordinary passengers and opened up many of Europe’s peripheral regions to the benefits of year round tourism.
“Now it is time to repeat this success in European Air Traffic Control by:
· Creating practical airspace blocks rather than National boundries
· Creating competition for the provision of ATC services in each of these blocks
This would put an end to elongated and inefficient “W” shaped flight paths that often add 30% onto the direct routes and generate efficiencies and cost reductions not available from existing state sponsored monopolies. It would also reduce air fares for passengers and decrease the environmental impact of air travel more than any ill conceived aviation taxes ever could.”

ovviamente manca una parte a mio avviso: tutte queste implementazioni per migliorare l'efficienza chi le paga??
