Ryanair, Ireland’s No. 1 airline, today (25 Feb) welcomed EU Commission confirmation that the night-time movement cap proposed by An Coimisúin Pleanála for Dublin Airport breaches EU law. This illegal night-time cap, along with the artificial 32m passenger cap applied by the same planning body almost 20 years ago, confirm the urgency of Micheál Martin’s Govt finally passing legislation by St. Patrick’s Day to abolish artificial caps on the primary airport on the island of Ireland.
Ryanair’s CEO Michael O’Leary said:
“Micheál “Do Nothing” Martin published a Programme for Govt 14 months ago in Jan 2025, in which he promised his Govt (with a 20-seat majority) would scrap Dublin Airport’s cap “as soon as possible”. Now, the EU Commission has embarrassingly moved before his Govt to find An Coimisúin Pleanála’s night-time cap to be in breach of EU law. When will Micheál “Do Nothing” Martin do something to stop these artificial caps being applied by local planning bodies by passing legislation before St. Patrick’s Day to scrap caps at Dublin Airport for the benefit of jobs, our tourism industry and our economy?”
Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (Wed, 25 Feb) confirmed it has filed a protective brief with the Hamburg Court to prevent eDreams from censoring Ryanair’s recent press statements publicising the Court’s finding that eDreams’ prices and discount advertisements are “misleading”.
eDreams’ attempted censorship comes in the wake of mounting pressure from EU Courts and Regulators in relation to consumer law breaches by eDreams. The Hamburg Regional Court has repeatedly ruled that eDreams’ presentation of prices and discount advertisements are “misleading” and fined eDreams for continued non-compliance with the ruling.
The German Court’s findings align with findings from other European authorities, such as the €9m sanction imposed by the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) for eDreams’ “clearly deceptive”, “unquestionably manipulative”, and “misleading” practices linked to its Prime subscription scheme. eDreams’ commercial practices have also attracted sanctions from numerous Spanish regional consumer authorities including the Madrid and Castilla y León Consumer Authorities who found “several infringements” of consumer law by eDreams.
eDreams’ efforts to use the German courts to restrict Ryanair’s ability to publicly communicate these Hamburg Court rulings is a blatant attempt to keep consumers in the dark in relation to court findings that eDreams’ practices are “misleading”. Ryanair has submitted a formal brief to defend the accuracy of its statements and its right to inform consumers about findings that eDreams’ practices are “misleading”.
Ryanair CMO, Dara Brady, said:
“eDreams’ attempt to censor Ryanair’s publication of Court findings that eDreams’ pricing practices are ‘misleading’ is a blatant attempt to hide the truth from consumers. The Hamburg Court has already ruled against eDreams and fined them over their conduct. Our PR simply explained those rulings. Instead of fixing its business model, eDreams is now trying to censor Ryanair’s communications and shut down criticism. We won’t let that happen.
We have filed a brief with the Hamburg Court to confirm that our statements are accurate and to defend our right to tell customers the truth about eDreams’ conduct. Ryanair will continue to campaign to protect EU consumers from these overcharging OTAs. EU Govts and National Consumer Authorities should insist on mandatory price transparency from all OTAs to protect consumers, in line with the transparent pricing being delivered by all of Ryanair’s “Approved OTA” partners. Ryanair encourages consumers to book directly on Ryanair.com or through one of Ryanair’s “Approved OTA” partners to ensure the lowest fares and Ryanair approved transparency.”
2 AIRCRAFT ($200M INVEST.), 24 ROUTES (6 NEW) AND 1.2M PASSENGERS P.A. (+35%)
Ryanair, Europe and Italy’s No.1 airline, today (24 Feb) announced its biggest ever Summer schedule for Trapani-Marsala, following the opening of Ryanair’s new base at Vincenzo Florio Airport from Jan ’26. This major expansion follows the Sicilian Region’s forward-thinking decision to scrap the Municipal Tax at smaller Sicilian airports – a move which has immediately boosted regional connectivity, tourism and jobs. This Summer, Trapani-Marsala, Ryanair’s third Sicilian base (and 20th in Italy), will deliver even more choice and lower fares for Sicilian residents.
Ryanair’s Summer ‘26 schedule will deliver 2 based aircraft (a US$200m investment), 24 routes (including 6 exciting connections to Stockholm, Bournemouth, Bari, Lublin, Saarbrücken, and Verona), and 1.2m passengers p.a. (+35%). Ryanair’s continued growth will support over 960 local jobs and deliver a major economic boost for Trapani, Marsala and the wider Sicilian region by driving tourism, stimulating local trade, improving year-round connectivity and offering even lower fares for both residents and visitors.
Ryanair’s Trapani-Marsala Summer 2026 will deliver:
- 2 aircrafts – $200M invest.
- 24 tot. routes, incl. 6 new to Stockholm, Bournemouth, Bari, Lublin, Saarbrücken, Verona
- 1.2M pax p.a. (+35%)
- Supp. over 960 local jobs
This exciting growth and investment in Trapani-Marsala is a direct result of President Schifani’s forward-thinking decision to scrap the Municipal Tax at smaller Sicilian airports – a measure that is already delivering more routes, more investment and more jobs. Ryanair calls on the Sicilian Govt to take a step further by scrapping the regressive tax at all Sicilian airports to unlock the same benefits for Palermo and Catania, driving more connectivity, more tourism and lower fares for all Sicilians.
Meanwhile, regressive Municipal Tax continues to limit airports’ growth potential across the country, especially in Rome where anti-growth measures – such as a Municipal Tax which is even higher than other Italian airports, the artificial flight cap at Ciampino and AdR’s excessive airport charges – are damaging competitiveness and weakening essential domestic links between the capital and regions like Sicily.
To celebrate the launch of Ryanair’s record Summer 2026 schedule for Trapani-Marsala, the airline has launched a seat sale with fares from just €29.99, available to book now via the Ryanair app (subject to availability)
Fabrizio Francioni, Head of Communications Italy Ryanair, said:
“As Europe and Italy’s No.1 airline, Ryanair is delighted to announce this record-breaking Summer ’26 schedule for Trapani-Marsala – a direct result of the the Sicilian Region’s proactive decision to scrap the Municipal Tax at smaller Sicilian airports. With 2 based aircraft (US$200m invest.) and 24 routes (including 6 exciting new to Stockholm, Bournemouth, Bari, Lublin, Saarbrücken, Verona), this schedule will support over 960 local jobs and 1.2m annual passengers – boosting connectivity, tourism and jobs at Europe’s lowest fares.
Ryanair welcomes President Schifani’s and the Sicilian Govt’s decision to scrap the Municipal Tax at the smaller Sicilian airports, but now is the perfect time to go one step further. Scrapping the anti-growth tax at all Sicilian airports (including Palermo and Catania) would unlock even further growth, lower fares, and greater year-round connectivity for all Sicilian citizens and visitors.
Salvatore Ombra, President of Airgest, said:
“Starting this summer, as previously announced, a second phase will begin. We have delivered on our promise: six new routes, bringing the total to 24 destinations. Our goal is to reach 1.5 million passengers by 2026. In addition, significant investments will be made for a major redesign of our airport. Eight construction projects will begin by the end of this year, with €13.8 million invested in our airport. We can only be pleased — it will be an important year. Negotiations are ongoing, and the goal is to return to the heights achieved in 2016–2017.”
