Overview
- OLG Hamburg prohibited Flightright from claiming in advertising that Ryanair tramples on consumer rights.
- Flightright may no longer advise customers to ignore any contact attempts by the airline.
- Each repeat breach of the injunction carries a coercive fine of €250,000 under the court’s order.
- The portal must clearly disclose from the outset an additional 14% lawyer surcharge on top of its commission.
- Ryanair welcomed the judgment, cited earlier BGH jurisprudence, and urged passengers to submit claims directly to the airline.
