Flagship Ryanair Skavsta threatened with closure. 100 million is taken, but no one wants to pay for the Bill.
-Skavsta fall victim to Ryanair's blackmail policy, which is to be supported by the airport instead to pay for itself, and otherwise threaten to move, says Jan Ohlsson, editor-in-Chief at travelinsider.
He said that the current conflict between Nyköping municipality and Spanish TBI, majority owner of Skavsta, is essentially a conflict between TBI and Ryanair.
TBI owns 90.1 percent of Skavsta airport, which is located in Nyköping, 100 km south of Stockholm. Other 9.9 percent owned by the municipality.
Now TBI's President Carlos del Rio in a letter to the municipality, the Chairman of the Urban Granström (S) there is no money for the renovation of the main runway. Something needs to happen within the next 36 months – and is estimated to cost 100 million kronor.
The owners think that the EU or the taxpayers or should step in and pay for the Bill, which Granström think is unreasonable.
– There is scope in the airport and then not Nyköping taxpayers having to pay money to a Spanish multimiljardkoncern, he told Södermanlands Nyheter.
Although Skavsta has grown from 200,000 passengers a year to become the country's third largest airport with 2.5 million passengers, the loss.
With so much traffic would airports go around but Ryanair is champion of paying as little as possible in fees for landing, traffic management, parking and an airline usually stands for. They are infamous for this and has already delivered a dozen airports in Europe because they do not want to pay for itself, "says expert Jan Ohlsson.
In addition to the main actor Ryanair, the low-cost airline Wizzair mainly flies to Skavsta and many of Sweden's cheapest air travel goes from here.
What would it mean if Skavsta is closed?
– I do not think it will be so. This is a question about who's the toughest negotiations but Ryanair is very keen to continue to fly away, says Jan Ohlsson, who doubts that the Irish airline would drop its competitor Wizzair.
– However, if Ryanair would continue to haggle with TBI and really pull out, we would have higher flight prices in Sweden. Skavsta and Ryanair doesn't mean very much for competition.
