Ryanair launch High Court proceedings against Google and eDreams

Ryanair has launched legal action against Google and travel website eDreams over claims that consumers are being conned into mistakenly believing they are booking flights direct with the airline.

Searches for Ryanair on Google can result in a paid advert for eDreams at the top of the page, which the Dublin-based carrier described as a link to a “copycat website with identical Ryanair branding in order to deceive consumers”.
