Ryanair have said that they will cancel flights that have been booked via what
they call 'scraper' sites that add on a booking fee.
A leading travel expert called Ryanair's move just a 'scare tactic' and that
they would perhaps cancel a few flights but was unlikely to make thousands of
cancellations for fear of a backlash.
Speaking as an Abta board member, John Bevan, managing director of
lastminute.com, described Ryanair’s move as “shortsighted”.
“It’s a terrible situation for agents to have to say no to a customer asking
them to book a flight,” he said.
Bevan added that lastminute did not book Ryanair flights, although it offered
other no-frills options.
An Abta spokesman said Ryanair’s threat to cancel individual bookings was
unprecedented.
