Airlines; Spanish Ministry fines LCC
TRANSPORTATION
Headlines (AFP) that Spain ministry has fined Ryanair, Easyjet & Spanish airlines Volotea & Vueling (latter owned by IAG) for "abusive practices" which apparently include charging for seat selection to sit next to dependents/children & not accepting cash for tickets at airports (?). Ryanair was also fined for charging €20 to print boarding passes.
Not much colour around amounts outside "fines total €150m" - insignificant for all 3 if so. Decision expected to be appealed.
