Ryanair fails to get High Court ban on travel agent
Ryanair has failed to get a High Court injunction preventing a travel agency from selling its flights.
The low cost airline had requested the order, while it pursues an action for damages against Irish agent, Budget Travel for selling flights without its agreement, see previous story.
But it was dismissed by Justice Brian McGovern as being "somewhat unreal and fanciful".
The airline has tried to block Budget Travel from selling its flights accusing the ‘screen scaping’ agent, which takes data from Ryanair’s website, of breaching its Terms of Use and intellectual property rights.
The airline’s head of communications Stephen McNamara said: "Budget Travel has no permission or agreement with Ryanair and we have been forced to take legal action to insist that they immediately desist from unlawfully scraping and selling Ryanair’s low far flights often at inflated prices to unsuspecting consumers."
