Travelling with Ryanair from Hungary may change fundamentally soon
Change language:
Michael O’Leary, the CEO of the Irish low-cost airliner, said before that he would like to introduce a new fee concerning all passengers travelling on their planes.
We wrote about the European Parliament’s new idea to harmonise European luggage transport rules. Currently, different airline rules on baggage restrictions result in hidden charges and make it difficult to compare prices. If the European Parliament can achieve a baggage price harmonisation, it could have negative consequences, especially for Wizz Air, Ryanair, and other low-cost airlines.
The MEPs accepted the relevant resolution at the plenary session of the European Parliament last Wednesday. However, it is just an intention, the EP cannot make laws, only recommendations for the European Commission. Telex wrote that the institution consulted about the relevant transport decree’s supervision. Thus, it might happen the resolution will become a rule. Or not. That is because the European Commission has been evaluating a possible modification since 2019 and they believe that they should respect the airlines’ commercial freedom.
True to form, the EUros working hard again at making our lives more difficult and expensive.
