RYANAIR TO IMMEDIATELY APPEAL
SPAIN'S ILLEGAL AND BASELESS BAGGAGE FINES
FINES ARE IN BREACH OF EU REG
1008/2008 WHICH GUARANTEES
AIRLINES PRICING
FREEDOM
Ryanair today (22 Nov) instructed
lawyers to immediately appeal Spain's unlawful and baseless baggage
fines. Ryanair's bag policies have already been approved in
multiple Spanish and EU Court hearings (see attached), most
recently in the Barcelona Courts of Spain.
Ryanair's Michael O'Leary said:
"These illegal and baseless fines, have been invented by
Spain's Consumer Affairs Ministry for political reasons, are
clearly in breach of EU law. Ryanair has for many years used bag
fees and airport check-in fees to change passenger behaviour and we
pass on these cost savings in the form of lower fares to consumers.
Today's illegal fines in Spain are in breach of EU law (Reg
1008/2008) and will be overturned by the EU Courts, which have
repeatedly defended the right of all EU airlines to set prices and
policies, free from Government interference. These illegal Spanish
fines, which are based on an ancient 1960's law which predated
Spain joining the EU, would destroy the ability of low cost
airlines to pass on cost savings to consumers via lower
fares.
The
success of Ryanair and other low fare airlines in Spain and across
Europe in recent years is entirely due to Europe's Open Skies
regime and the freedom of airlines to set prices and policies
without interference from national Governments which is what
today's illegal Spanish fines are."
