Can you explain more about how Ryanair refusing to fly to far-flung airports without a subsidy is an externality?

  Someone else is paying for something they are using. Better still:they're getting paid to use it. Of course, nobody is twisting the arm of these politicians. But the fact remains that Ryanair is exploiting this weakness to avoid paying themselves. Type "Ryanair airport subsidies" in google and have a look at the first couple of titles. It's a mess that has been going on for 10 years now and is only now slowly being called a halt to. https://www.transportenvironment.org/press/24-ryanair-airports-likely-be-propped-subsidies-%E2%80%93-fueling-rapid-emissions-growth https://www.transportenvironment.org/press/24-ryanair-airpor...
