Italy fines Ryanair as volcanic activity 'shows no signs of stopping'

Italy’s civil aviation agency has fined Ryanair €3m for failing to help passengers stranded last month when flights were cancelled due to Iceland’s volcanic ash cloud.

The ENAC agency said it found 178 cases of Ryanair passengers who did not receive mandatory assistance such as food, drink and lodgings during the flight shutdown in much of Europe from April 15 to 22.
