Ryanair hits out at Booking.com over flight cuts

Ryanair has hit out at several online travel agents for taking its flights off their platforms without warning. It comes after an Irish High Court ruling banned screenscraper Flightbox from gathering Ryanair flight information for online travel agents. Ryanair said the websites' removal of flights would increase empty seats by 1% or 2% in December and January. Ryanair said the "Welcome removal" of its flights might have been a result of pressure from national consumer protection agencies or new customer verification measures it has taken. Speaking on Wednesday, the company said the average number of empty seats per flight in December had increased from 8% to 9%. Ryanair said it flew 12.5 million passengers in December, up 9% from the same period in 2022, despite more than 900 flights being cancelled due to the war in Gaza.
