lastminute.com wins landmark court case against Ryanair

Written by Sofi Roncoroni on April 13, 2023. Posted in Regular Press Releases.

Swiss Supreme Court rules in favour of lastminute.com and confirms its legitimacy of selling Ryanair flights.
The judgement was declared a “major milestone” by the lastminute.com group and a “win for consumers” following a 15-year battle through the Swiss Courts.
In rejecting Ryanair’s appeal, the Swiss Supreme Court highlighted the airline’s media campaigns as “contrary to the Federal Law Against Unfair Competition”.
In light of the ruling, the CEO of lastminute.com now hopes to extend an “olive branch” to Ryanair to find a better way forward collaboratively.
On top of the costs already granted to lastminute.com in the lower courts, Ryanair have been ordered to pay an additional CHF 49,000.
