Ryanair to take legal action over bird strike

Ryanair has taken the decision to take legal action to force Ente Nazionale per L'Aviazione Civile (ENAC) to accept it's responsibilities in relation to starlings at Rome-Ciampino airport. Following the write off of B737-8AS EI-DYG in a multiple bird strike at the Italian airport on November 10 last, Ryanair has repeatedly called for ENAC to take control of the bird hazard at the Rome airport. ENAC however has refused to do so saying that it is the airport operator's responsibility. The matter has now reached a head with Ryanair taking legal action through Tar Lazio in an attempt to make ENAC accept it's responsibilities.
