Ryanair wins battle against claim for compensation

Ryanair has won a Spanish court battle against a man who claimed compensation after his flight's departure time was changed.

The Girona court dismissed a passenger’s claim for €1,700 compensation after Ryanair changed the departure time of his flight, because Ryanair had properly notified the passengers of this schedule change.

The Madrid court dismissed a case in which a passenger claimed that Ryanair had closed check-in for their flight early, preventing them from boarding, when Ryanair presented proof that the check-in desk had remained open but that the passengers had simply arrived late.

"The outcome confirms that Ryanair complies with EU261 regulation," the airline said.
