Ryanair has struck a deal with Booking Holdings to let its Booking.com and KAYAK websites resell the airline's tickets, the companies said on Tuesday, apparently drawing a line under their years-long legal dispute over the issue.

Ryanair has in recent years launched a series of legal actions against third-party booking platforms that resell its tickets without agreement, including Booking. It has accused them of adding additional charges and making it difficult for the airline to contact passengers.
