„Рајанер” кажњен са 255 милиона евра
Италијанска антимонополска агенција (АГЦМ) изрекла је казну од 255 милиона евра ирској нискобуџетној авио-компанији „Рајанер” због злоупотребе доминантног положаја на тржишту путничког авио-саобраћаја ка Италији и из ове земље.
TL;DR
- Italian Antitrust Authority (AGCM) fined Ryanair €255 million.
- Fine is for abusing dominant market position in air passenger transport to and from Italy.
- Ryanair allegedly made it difficult for traditional and online travel agencies to buy its tickets, redirecting sales to its own website.
- This practice aimed to prevent agencies from easily combining Ryanair flights with other carriers or services, thereby controlling ticket distribution and limiting competition.
- Measures included facial recognition checks for agency purchases, blocking agency bookings, and restrictive partnership agreements.
- The practices, starting in April 2023, weakened competition among agencies and reduced consumer choice.
- Ryanair announced an appeal, calling the ruling 'legally wrong' and the fine 'absurd'.
- Ryanair claims direct sales through its website cut costs by 20%, leading to lower airfares.
