Ryanair could face compensation bill

Millions of Ryanair passengers could be in line for a payout after a landmark court judgment ruled the airline cannot limit the time allowed to claim compensation for flight delays.

Lawyers say the low-cost carrier could be liable for payouts of around £610m (€847.02m) after the firm lost a test case at Manchester County Court.

Ryanair, however, disputes this figure and claims that its liability, should it lose its appeal, is likely to be less than €5m.
