Ryanair Flights Removed from Major Online Booking Sites

The airline responds by lowering fares on its own website, amidst an ongoing dispute with online travel agents.

Ryanair flights have been removed from major online booking websites including Booking.com, Kiwi, and Kayak, which the airline claims will reduce its load factor by up to 2% in January.
The airline has responded by lowering fares for passengers booking directly through its own website, a move that may also affect ticket revenues.
Ryanair has been in a long-running dispute with these online travel agents, accusing them of overcharging and providing fake contact information.
The removal of Ryanair flights from these websites could be related to a recent Irish High Court ruling against screen scraper Flightbox, which was found to be unlawfully scraping Ryanair's online content for bookings sites.
Despite these developments, Ryanair reported that it carried 12.5 million passengers in December, an increase of 9% on the previous year.
