Italian competition watchdog fines Ryanair €255m over dealings with travel agencies 

The regulator said the airline allegedly blocked or made it more difficult travel agencies to offer Ryanair flights in combination with other airlines or other services.

Italy's competition authority said on Tuesday it had fined Europe's largest budget airline Ryanair €255m for abuse of a dominant position in its dealings with travel agents.

The regulator said the airline allegedly blocked or made it more difficult - economically or technically - for travel agencies to offer Ryanair flights in combination with other airlines or other services.
