Ryanair and Booking Holdings Settle Legal Dispute with New Ticket Sales Agreement
Ryanair has ended its prolonged legal battle with Booking Holdings, striking a deal that permits Booking.com and KAYAK to resume selling its tickets. The agreement ensures price transparency and direct passenger communication—addressing Ryanair's longstanding grievances over unauthorized reselling and hidden fees.
The resolution closes multiple lawsuits, including a high-profile U.S. case dating to 2020, where Ryanair accused Booking of scraping flight data. The partnership now extends across Booking's platforms, including Priceline and Agoda, marking a strategic pivot for the airline.
