In a statement, the Irish budget carrier said it had called a news conference last week to announce a strengthening of its presence in Sicily but claimed SAC had tried to change the terms of its agreement with the airline at the last minute.

"Ryanair is committed to grow at all Sicilian Airports. We are the largest carrier in Sicily with over 10 million passengers connecting 50 domestic and 56 international routes. We planned to hold press conferences in Sicily on April 20 and 21 to announce growth at all four airports but unfortunately, SAC, the owner of Comiso attempted to change the terms of our agreement on the eve of the press conference.
