No Irish probe into airline refund policies planned as UK to investigate Ryanair

UK’s Competition and Markets Authority has opened enforcement cases against Ryanair and British Airways

Ryanair is being probed by the UK competition regulator over its Covid refund policy.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) is not planning to mirror its UK counterpart and launch a retrograde investigation into airline refund policies for Covid-disrupted consumers here.

Ryanair and British Airways are facing an investigation into whether they broke UK consumer rules by failing to offer refunds to customers for flights they couldn’t take.
