Ryanair (RYAAY) presses Edreams in dispute over online travel agency terms

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Ryanair Holdings plc furnished a Form 6-K describing a public dispute with online travel agency Edreams and outlining its broader approach to working with third-party sellers. The company says most major online travel agents, such as Booking.com, Lastminute and Kiwi, have adopted its price transparency standards and in return receive free direct access to its ticket inventory.

Ryanair contrasts this with Edreams, which it criticizes for not following those standards, and reiterates that it is willing to grant Edreams free access to its fares if it accepts the same price transparency principles as other participating agencies. The filing is signed on behalf of the company by the company secretary.

RYANAIR REJECTS EDREAMS CLAIMS

Ryanair today (19 Nov) called on Edreams to explain why it is the only large online travel agent (OTA) which continues to overcharge Ryanair customers.  All other major OTAs, including Booking.com, Lastminute and Kiwi, have signed up to the principle of price transparency and in return receive direct free of charge access to Ryanair's ticket inventory.  Edreams - on the other hand - has been scraping Ryanair's website for nearly 20 years and has built its business model on the premise they overcharge their customers. 

Ryanair's spokesperson said:

"Despite our repeated objections, Edreams has been scraping Ryanair's fares and ancillary services for years, and continues to do so.  Instead of blaming Ryanair today for a fall in its profit guidance, Edreams should recognise that it is now the only large OTA which does not follow Ryanair's price transparency standards that are successfully applied by most other large OTAs, including Booking.com, Lastminute, Kiwi and many others.  Ryanair's offer to grant Edreams free-of-charge access to our ticket inventory remains open, as long as Edreams is willing to commit to the same principles of price transparency as its competitors have committed to over the past 2 years."
