The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Low-cost Irish airline Ryanair is reducing the number of flights out of Shannon Airport in the mid-west of Ireland by 75% from next April 2010; which will result in 150 redundancies. Ryanair's present contract with the airport expires in April 2010. Shannon Airport has confirmed that it is not entering a new five-year agreement with Ryanair, referring to the airline's 'unreasonable demands'. However, Ryanair claimed it had offered Shannon better cost terms than other lower cost airports in destinations all over Europe.
