Ryanair pays €525,000 to end standoff at Bordeaux in subsidy row.

More than 140 passengers were forced to get off a Ryanair plane yesterday.

French authorities seized the plane over 'outstanding repayments.'

A bailiff was escorted by police to seize the plane on the tarmac of Bordeaux airport as it was readying for take off.

The aviation authority called it "regrettable that the state was forced" to evacuate the plane yesterday.

It said the passengers were put on another Ryanair flight five hours later.

The authorities claim the airline owes £450,000 in subsidies wrongfully paid out to it.
