eDreams ODIGEO said Commercial Court No. 12 of Barcelona granted provisional enforcement of a July 2025 ruling that found Ryanair conducted acts of unfair competition by denigration.
The court ordered Ryanair to comply within 10 days—withdraw denigrating content, publish a public rectification and cease denigration—and authorised monthly coercive fines for continued breach. The decision also warned Ryanair officials they could face criminal investigation for persistent disobedience.
eDreams ODIGEO said a German court fined Ryanair (NASDAQ: RYAAY) for breaching an injunction and found several of Ryanair's commercial practices unlawful on January 8, 2026. The court cited "bad faith" non‑compliance and ordered removal of banned terms. In a separate ruling the court voided Ryanair's pre‑ticked consent design, its blanket "non‑refundable" clause, and an "administration fee" for tax refunds. The release references prior record fines in Italy (€256m) and Spain (€108m) and calls for EU enforcement to protect consumers.
eDreams ODIGEO welcomed a December 23, 2025 ruling by the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) that found Ryanair (NASDAQ: RYAAY) committed a "very serious" abuse of dominance. The AGCM concluded Ryanair implemented a multi-stage exclusionary strategy—codenamed Shield—that blocked OTA bookings, ran smear campaigns, and pressured agencies into restrictive contracts.
The decision cites confiscated internal documents showing Ryanair blamed OTAs for a sales drop while knowing the blockade caused it, raising questions about financial disclosures and data-protection misuse. eDreams calls for EU-wide regulatory and market supervision following the ruling.
