Uk regulator asks ryanair to pay compensation for delayed cancelled flights
According to recent reports, the UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has asked Ryanair to pay compensation to passengers who were affected by delayed or cancelled flights.
The CAA has been investigating Ryanair's handling of flight disruptions and has found that the airline failed to provide adequate compensation to passengers in accordance with EU regulations. The regulator has now ordered Ryanair to pay out a total of £13.5 million in compensation to affected passengers.
Ryanair has been criticized in the past for its handling of flight disruptions, with many passengers reporting long delays and cancellations without adequate compensation. The airline has argued that it is not responsible for delays caused by factors outside of its control, such as weather or air traffic control issues.
However, the CAA has found that Ryanair failed to provide adequate compensation to passengers in many cases, and has ordered the airline to pay out the £13.5 million in compensation. The regulator has also imposed a fine of £18 million on Ryanair for its failure to comply with EU regulations.
Passengers who were affected by Ryanair's delayed or cancelled flights may be eligible for compensation under EU regulations. The amount of compensation that passengers are entitled to depends on the length of the delay and the distance of the flight.
