Ryanair has lost an appeal against a ruling that ordered it to repay nearly €2 million ($2.2 million) in subsidies it received to operate a route from Klagenfurt airport to London Stansted. The claim relates to air services agreement going back to 2002 between the airline and the Austrian province of Carinthia, the city of Klagenfurt and Klagenfurt airport, which, the European Commission deemed after an investigation, amounted to unlawful state aid. Ryanair had then sought to have the relevant pieces of legislation affecting that decision annulled due to relevance, although this was rejected by a European General Court in 2018. The appeal sought to overturn this decision, arguing that proper procedure was not followed. However, the EU Court of Justice dismissed this as “ineffective”. Ryanair was ordered to pay the Commission’s costs.

Nigerian carrier Ibom Air has taken delivery of the first of 10 Airbus A220-300s from the airframer's Canadian assembly line. The A220 positions Ibom Air for "expanded service across diverse destinations within the African continent" the carrier states, noting a range of up to 3,450nm. Chief executive Mfon Udom describes the aircraft's fleet introduction as a "game-changing leap forward for Ibom Air". Fleet data shows the airline has five MHIRJ CRJ900s and two wet-leased A320ceos. Its A220 order had been disclosed during the 2021 Dubai air show, initially spanning six A220-100s and four -300s. The airline subsequently switched all orders to the larger model. Based in Uyo, Ibom Air mainly operates domestic routes. A service from Lagos to Ghanian capital Accra was added to the network in October, the carrier's website indicates.
