Its unique business model has allowed it to do so, Pennings explains. Ryanair typically flies at regional airports where it often is the only airline, making the region in question very dependent on Ryanair. The regions benefit from Ryanair\u2019s presence, as new tourist markets can be, and are developed.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p> <font size=\"3\"><font face=\"Calibri\"> <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p> <font size=\"3\"><font face=\"Calibri\"> Normally airlines pay the airports for landing rights. But when the airline has a monopoly it becomes the airport that pays the airline, and in many cases that is Ryanair. An example is Alghero airport on Sardinia, which pays Ryanair six euro per passenger that lands, and it guarantees Ryanair a minimum amount per plane that equals a flight with sixty percent\u00a0 of seats occupied. The cheapest rates, for early booking passengers, are covered by these subsidies, and airports and regions are keen to keep paying, because Ryanair will move to a neighbouring region if they don\u2019t. \u201cIf several airlines are paid these subsidies by means of negative landing rights, there shouldn\u2019t be a problem\u201d, Pennings says. \u201cBut if only one airline receives them, it is state aid and Brussels must act.\u201d KL\u00a0 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/posts\" class=\"alignfull py-6 md:py-8 lg:py-10 bg-white\" >\n\t\t<div
