Italian Court Rejects Online Travel Agent’s Challenge Over Ryanair Bookings

An Italian court has sided with Ryanair after an online travel agent complained about the airline's extra security check0in procedures

An Italian court has ruled that Ryanair can continue to apply extra security check-in procedures for passengers who book flights via online travel agent Kiwi.

The carrier welcomed the decision.

Dara Brady, Ryanair’s Head of Digital, said the ruling ensured that passengers booking through online agents could continue using its enhanced procedures to check in and are told of important safety and public health protocols. “Ryanair does not have a relationship with Kiwi and we strongly object to Kiwi selling our flights,” he added.
