Ryanair to charge â'š~¬100 charity fee to price comparison websites for fare access

Ryanair is to allow price comparison websites to access its timetable and pricing information in exchange for an annual â'š~¬100 charitable donation.

The airline said it will continue its ban on screenscraper websites, but will introduce this new licence agreement for price comparison only websites.

Michael Oââ¬â¢Leary said: ââ¬ÅâœAll licence fees will be donated by Ryanair to the charity nominated annually by our staff.

ââ¬ÅâœRyanair will continue to fight against ââ¬Åâœticket-toutââ¬~ screenscrapers which are reselling Ryanair seats without authorisation and are ripping off consumers with inflated fares and fictit ious fuel surcharges.ââ¬~
