Ryanair refers 'profiteering' BP to regulator

Ryanair announced today it was referring BP to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) over unjustified increases in fuel delivery charges at Prestwick and Belfast City airports.

The budget airline accused Air BP of profiteering. It called on the OFT to investigate its unjustified attempts to impose increases of more than 50% on the delivery cost of aviation fuel at the airports when inflation is running at 5%.
