UK watchdog drops probe into Ryanair and BA over refunds during Covid lockdowns            

The UK’s ever-changing travel rules meant that destinations were suddenly on the no-go list at short notice

Ryanair welcomed the decision.

Britain has ended a probe into British Airways and Ryanair over their refusal to reimburse customers who were barred from flying because of ever-changing pandemic travel rules.

The Competition and Markets Authority decided to close the investigation because the law isn’t clear enough about a right to a refund “in these unusual circumstances,” according to a statement. Ryanair welcomed the decision.
