    At this stage I’ll take anything that imposes a fine on that smarmy faced little prick.

  2. When the free market capitalism gets too free market, the invisible hand of the ~~market~~ regulator slaps you with a fine. Best system.

    *Edit: /s

  3. O Leary will cremate them for this if it stands, he all but owns the lower end tourism sector, and can just send more business to Spain/Greece/Croatia.

    In reality they’ll probably settle on a much lower figure, or waive it if Ryanair agrees to ABC conditions

  4. Christ, Italy are on a money grabbing spree. They have also fined Apple the other day. These fines are like a new tax on big companies. I’m not defending the companies etc but heck it’s kinda getting crazy now.

  5. They raided O’Leary’s office to get all the electronics. Sure it would take the ARU to get him to give up the evidence. He’s going to be pissed.

  6. Ryanair should pull out of Italy, this is protectionist behaviour because Air Italia is on the ropes and counter sue through the EU

    I deeply support Ryanair.

    Travel agencies just want to steal all the cheap tickets immediately after they appear and thus to force you to travel with them. They are basically ticket scalpers.
