He believes Avinor air navigation fees of just over 50 million a year and half inch oljependlerfly because of the crisis in the oil industry greater threats for Torp’s future.

– As regards Ryanair, the company ekstermt skilled at throwing around where there is money to be made. If not they may drop routes wherever. Now Ryanair among the biggest on domestic routes in Italy and Greece, and who had predicted that five years ago, asking Torp director.
