The airline has been objecting to the obligation of using the walkways, preferring their passengers to walk to the planes on the tarmac Ryanair has said it will not launch an appeal against the prohibition of embarking by foot at El Altet airport in Alicante. The sentence from Mercantile Court 3 in Alicante on March 26 ruled in favour of AENA, the Spanish Airports Authority, regarding the use of the airbridges allowing passengers to walk directly onto the planes. The ruling, ordering Ryanair to use the airbridges could have been appealed by the airline, but they have decided not to do so. The sentence considered the procedures in use at Alicante airport ‘are not arbitrary decisions by the authorities, but the fruit of their obligation to provide a service with all guarantees’. AENA said that they had always been open to study any operations with Ryanair, but provided that quality and safety in the provision of services are not put at risk. Neither can it be a discrimination against the other airlines.
