Maybe because the case gets more media attention when you put seizure stickers on a plane in front of 200 passengers compared to actually seizing an actual plane in the hangar far from public eyes.
This is not about actually seizing a plane (it wouldn’t be proportional to the sun Ryanair has to pay), this is about showing Ryanair that the court doesn’t give a shit and proceeds by the protocol as intended…
Seriously: Refusing to pay a sum as low as $ 890 after being ordered by court is such a petty move that I think it’s hilarious that the court reacts like “You don’t want to pay? Well in that case we seize some random plane if you continue to refuse… Your choice Ryanair…”
It’s about sending a message like putting a horse head on someone’s doorstep.
Sure, that’s cool and all, but the message is not “we will seize this” it’s “we will temporarily disrupt service for one plane of people who had nothing to do with the suit, costing the company a bit of money for inconvenience and nothing else.”
