03:52 AM EST, 01/09/2026 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with Ryanair's ( RYAOF ) response in the fifth paragraph.)

Ryanair ( RYAOF ) has been penalized by a German court over its alleged refusal to comply with judicial mandates, plaintiff eDreams ODIGEO said Thursday.

The Regional Court of Hamburg imposed a fine on Ryanair ( RYAOF ) for allegedly breaching an injunction granted to eDreams in May 2025, eDreams said.

In a separate ruling, the Hamburg Court ruled that Ryanair's ( RYAOF ) mechanism for forcing user consent through a search button that pre-ticks the terms and conditions box was prohibited, according to eDreams.

The court also ruled against Ryanair's ( RYAOF ) refund restriction rules and administration fees for processing government tax refunds, the travel subscription platform said.

Ryanair ( RYAOF ) said in a statement emailed to MT Newswires that it welcomed the judgements, which it said accused eDreams of misleading consumers about the pricing of seat reservations and checked baggage. "eDreams continues to scrape our fares and overcharge consumers," spokesperson Dara Brady said.
