Ryanair finally agrees to pay 2018 strike compensation
Ryanair has finally agreed to pay strike compensation for disrupted flights dating back to 2018.
It was caused by a pilot strike.
Ryanair has withdrawn a legal challenge to the Supreme Court.
The Civil Aviation Authority has now encouraged impacted passengers to claim for cancellations and delays.
A court had ruled Ryanair was on the hook for strike compensation payments.
The Court of Appeal had ruled strike action was not an ‘extraordinary circumstance’ and compensation should be paid.
Ryanair said agreement was reached with the CAA recently.
It ends the ‘legal dispute concerning passenger rights’
Rocio Concha, Which? Director of Policy and Advocacy, said: “Anyone impacted should make a claim, and Ryanair must ensure money is paid as soon as possible.”
“Thousands of Ryanair customers have faced a protracted wait for the compensation they are owed.”
“No traveller should have to wait years for the compensation they are legally entitled to.”
