Ryanair may face penalty in Munster flight saga

RYANAIR could be facing sanctions over its treatment of some Munster fans travelling to the Heineken Cup final in Cardiff on May 24.

The Commission for the Aviation Regulation yesterday said the airline could be in breach of EU rules over the manner in which it cancelled a flight to Bristol on the weekend of the match but subsequently reinstated it at highly inflated prices.

A spokesperson for the CAR said Ryanair’s action appeared to be “a cynical, commercial exercise”.
