If Ryanair is evil/incompetent enough to screw a whole plane load of passengers over a couple hundred euro, how is that the fault of the original victim?
You want to deny them justice because RyanAir is using other passengers as a shield?
Ryanair operates in numerous countries. What’s stopping them from just moving the plane to “coincidentally” operate only in countries that won’t bother with seizing the plane?
So Ryanair would just need to quit the entirety of the European market, move their entire fleet in record time without anyone noticing, and hope Jordanian and Moroccan courts don’t decide to recognize the Austrian court order? For €890.
It’s a funny thought exercise, but in practice they are going to pay the compensation.
Am I the only one who has never experienced an issue with RyanAir? Maybe the issues are more pronounced in other countries with laxer regulations and consumer protection laws, but I know what I’m in for when I book RA. I am not the typical traveler, I travel to strange places and alone and very light and (no I don’t smuggle drugs except accidentally a few times) have a high pain tolerance, but never had a late flight or got shit that wasn’t printed on the box.

Unless Ryanair steals the airplane, the debt will be paid. And if they steal the airplane, then they will have a problem much bigger than €890.
This was a reasonable and proportional solution to the problem.

No I’m sure there’s plenty of people who have never been on one of their flights
A lot of factors, including that it would mess up positioning for all their fleet and would cost them far more than the fine would.
