While I totally agree with the ruling I do wonder how Ryanair gets away with its creative use of city names on airfields. I'd have thought the precedent is the same.

Ryanair 'gets away with it' because it uses the international list that links airports to cities and if that list says airport X 'serves' city Y then Ryanair can use it in its publicity.
