Justice Minister Bence Tuzson has ordered eight more consumer protection probes against airlines over recent significant flight delays and cancellations, the justice ministry said on Thursday.
The latest investigations concern flights operated by Ryanair and Wizz Air. “The practices applied by the airlines are unacceptable,” the ministry quoted Tuzson as saying. “Passengers cannot be at the mercy of airlines; the laws must be respected,” he said, adding that airlines could expect “severe consumer protection fines” if they did not meet their obligations.
Last week, the Budapest Government Office said it has launched a probe against Ryanair, Wizz Air, SunExpress and Eurowings over flight delays.
The office said the probe aimd to establish whether the airlines have complied with the provisions of the relevant European Union regulation on providing information and assistance to passengers. If a violation is suspected during the probe, the government office will initiate the necessary procedures against the airline concerned, it added.

Needed. Something weird is happening with the aviation industry. It’s become so stressful, expensive, fraught with “accidents,” etc. that one might almost think someone(!) doesn’t want us peasants to fly like we used to but, perhaps, to just exist in “15-Minute Cities” and pay carbon credits on our farts.
Nah, that would be a “conspiracy theory,” and we all know they are NEVER true…
