Italy's Supreme Court Overturns €4.2 Million Fine Against Ryanair
Rome. Italy's supreme administrative court has overturned a fine of 4.2 million euros (approximately 4.93 million US dollars) on Irish airline provider Ryanair.
According to international news agency Reuters, Italy's competition watchdog had imposed the fine on Ryanair over the cancellation of flights during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ryanair's Chief Executive Officer Michael O'Leary stated that the court ruled the regulatory body AGCM applied different criteria to Ryanair compared to other airlines.
O'Leary urged Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to make immediate reforms to the regulatory body. He also informed that Ryanair is appealing against another fine of 256 million euros imposed by AGCM in December.
